• Dora. Recently moved two blocks up from it's home of over 60 years, Dora has a new, more upscale decor to match the upscale seafood. The extensive menu offers fish, meat, chicken, and one or two vegetarian options, but seafood is definitely the focus. The prices look high, but some of these dishes involve lobster and caviar. Any of the dish for two make for a huge and affordable meal. Many of the appetizers, like snow crab in avocado, would also make a filling main course for one.  edit
