Enjoyed another lovely dinner with my friend at the Back Burner in the Tavern. Our Autumn Salmon Salad was delicious with perfectly cooked salmon, roasted cauliflower and butternut squash, poached apples, pomegranate seeds and pepitas. Every bite had so many flavors! As a bonus, we dined during happy hour so our glasses of wine from the tap were so reasonable! Service was just right! We will dine again soon!

We celebrated our anniversary at The House of W&M and had a memorable experience! The atmosphere as soon as you walk in the restaurant is very welcoming. The bar specialty drinks (Perfect Pear Martini👍) was a great start to an awesome dinner! One of the night’s specialty entree’s was Venison and the flavor was the best. I encourage to choose from the starter, entree, and dessert as you won’t be disappointed. Lastly, everyone on the staff was friendly and professional which completed the experience!
