The patio area and indoor "secret garden" vibe make for a fun hangout spot. - The only bar I'll go to for an espresso martini.

The setting is in the midst of rolling hills and horse farms. The food is made fresh with recipes from the infamous Chef Ouita Michel and the atmosphere is true southern hospitality. This is a place we take friends and family when they come to town.

Opened just recently, this is a park just outside of downtown that is absolutely a hit with every kid! With room to run, rubber matted floors, and thoughtful design, parents can rest easy and let their kids be kids here!

Remodeling your kitchen? Looking for a bathroom upgrade? They got it. Get there 15+ minutes early on Wednesday (that's when they put out the new stuff). Also a great place for puzzles and knick knacks.
