Food Scene

Love steak? this place is awesome! The food and service are phenomenal. There has not been anything that my wife and I do not like at this place. You are able to personally select your cut of steak from their butcher shop which makes it a more élite experience. My wife doesn’t eat steak and usually get the lobster which is so fresh. They also have appetizers which are all sharable portions and you can never go wrong with any of them; our favorite is the seafood tower. Mac and Cheese is to die for.

We love hole in the walls and this one is a treat! Really nice place to sit back, relax and have a few beers and not to mention good food. Front and back porch to sit in, plus both an inside and outside bar. They always have cool music playing and everyone is so friendly it crates and amazing ambiance. MY favorite menu item is their wings that are always seasoned perfectly. Glad we live so close to it

Now, if you are in the mood for a sweet treat with a twist, this is your place. I have never had such different, but delicious ice cream. This place has so many options to choose from and they all have unique names along with flavors. The greatest part is that they are all homemade! It’s so hard to choose a flavor because you wan to try all of them, but the awesome thing is that you can! The “mint want cookies” is a my go to flavor here, but my personal favorite is the chocolate habanero which is not even listed on the menu!

This is our favorite Mexican restaurant! It is so homey and the food is very authentic. There are a few of them around town, but they all have the same service and really good Mexican food; not to mention they have really good margaritas!!!

Great place for brunch! They have a unique menu and the ambiance is just very welcoming. Although they were pretty busy, the service here is exceptional and not to mention the food. I had the noble pig pizza, which is so delicious, it has sausage, pepperoni, onions with an egg to top it off! On the brunch menu they have lemon ricotta pancakes that are absolutely delightful, they are light and airy topped with fresh blueberries. They have a full bar and make the most delicious lemon drop shots ever!
