    We had a delicious brunch at Cooper's hawk today. The avocado toast and creme brulee french toast were yummy and the rockstar mimosa and cranberry spritz were awesome. My teen daughter really enjoyed her meal as well as her "no-mosa." Great non-alcoholic option! Our server, Sean(sp), was very attentive and friendly. Best service I've had recently.

    We dined at The Crow’s Nest to celebrate our anniversary. The atmosphere was wonderful. It was elegant but not stuffy. The view was amazing. The food was outstanding although not cheap. The service was great. I would definitely recommend for a special night!
