Dayton Restaurants

1. Weinhard Café and Bakery

The past seems to echo through this restaurant, which is across the street from the Weinhard Hotel in what was once the town's pharmacy. The menu changes frequently to highlight seasonal specialties and local purveyors; some signature items include the chef's salad, rib-eye steak, and dark chocolate cake. Try a panini sandwich or grilled cheese for lunch; for dinner, the seafood curry or salmon scampi are good bets. Raspberry-rhubarb pie and coconut-lemon pie are dessert favorites.
