Lab on Lexington has good beer and higher-notch bar food. We enjoyed it.
I can't give you a recommendation on food; however, I did get an email this week that the yearly passes at Biltmore are on sale (I think $50 off). I would highly recommend getting one, especially since you live there. During the summer they have concerts. They also have some great events throughout the year. Only passholders can make reservations at the restaurants there. Plus if you plan on going 2 times in one year, it has already paid itself off.
