Sam AM is a nice, upscale brunch place downtown. Cafe Alyce is a nice, upscale brunch place near McGinley Square.

And Larsen's Diner doesn't look like much from the outside (it's a dingy old building wedged in between two dollar stores on Communipaw), but the food is terrific. Maybe not a first date spot, but a place to go to often if that first date pans out...
