Eau Claire’s food scene is growing and getting more and more tasty with new places and new flavors – but for the last six years in a row, nothing has beat Mona Lisa’s Restaurant (428 Water St.). There’s always something fresh, seasonal, and delicious on the menu at Mona’s. The vibes are unmatched, and the wine selection will keep the juices flowing. Coming in second for its expertly-crafted steak and pasta dishes is Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse (4751 Owen Ayres Court). And finally, downtown Eau Claire wouldn’t be downtown Eau Claire without Houligan’s Steak & Seafood Pub (415 S. Barstow St.), a beautiful supper club that keeps the good vibes up with amazing apps, great drinks, chicken, pasta, steaks, and seafood. –Eric Christenson
