Good less known restaurants in the extended AA Area?

My girlfriend and I have been having trouble finding good places to eat in the area. We feel like we've tried most staples and have trouble picking a spot to eat. Does anyone have any recs for places even within 20 minutes of the area? We really like places like Palio, Jolly Pumpkin, and Savas, even more casual, but it seems like the number of good places to sit down and have something to eat are kind of limited!
