Charming place for a stroll and a photo opp with the ancient cypress trees. In March you can’t miss the dozens of Great White Egrets that seasonally roost in the branches. A quiet in crowded place to bring a picnic lunch.

Food scene
Enjoy a glass of wine and a charred artichoke while sitting on an Adirondack chair overlooking the lake. Stroll through the herb garden and try to save room for the most incredible apple walnut cobbler you’ve ever tasted. Menu is a la carte and pricey, and there is often a wait, but the impeccable service and consistently perfect food makes it worth it. Don’t bother driving, it’s just a block away!
