We are regulars at Doughbird but are never disappointed. Thursday was no exception. Moderately busy but our food was delivered quickly and perfectly prepared: Salmon (I'm still amazed at how great they cook fish) and the Aviator pizza. I usually order the Chalk Hill chardonnay and it is such a great wine to have on the menu. Everything was terrific.

What a hidden gem!! Our server was personable and checked in at all the right times, our water glasses stayed full. The BLT and Cubano sandwiches were absolutely delicious. The OP Roast Carajillo coffee cocktail is WOW! And to top it all off, they have an amazing store and I finally found a BTFD hat that I LOVE!! If you are an Opus One drinker, they had a wine dinner recently and there are some 6-bottle cases at a really great price, including a 2021 and 2023 vintage. Almost sprung for one but we were drinking to the game after. Definitely a MUST recommendation!

We love the Keg. It's a more affordable option to Flemings or Ruth's Chris. The waitstaff and manager at the Keg are amazing. We never wanted for anything. Drinks were always full. Food came out perfectly done. Highly recommend. The atmosphere is wonderful, not loud like the two previously mentioned restaurants, and also not overly fancy or stuffy. Just perfect. 10/10 recommend.

Celebrated our anniversary and the staff was kind and considerate. The food was delicious. We had the Wednesday Wellington that was cooked to perfection. It is truly a celebration location.

Cayton's never disappoints. Watching the sunset over the golf course never gets old. The food was great. I highly recommend the shishito peppers as a starter, and the roasted poblano as an entree. Shout out to Jose who provided outstanding service. This is where we take friends from out of town, and they are always impressed. It helps that it's a short drive or a long walk from our house. If you haven't been, you should check it out.

Wonderful specials, especially the Sirloin Cap Steak which was really tender and done just right. Salmon was equally delicious. And service was impeccable as always.
