    What a fantastic experience! We asked if they could switch the live audio to the FIFA World Cup match, and the manager actually changed the audio for the entire bar so everyone could enjoy the game. Even though they officially closed at 10 PM, they never rushed us or made us feel unwelcome. Amazing hospitality, wonderful people, and a great atmosphere. It’s places like this that turn a good night into a memorable one. Highly recommend!

    Cooper's Hawk is a consistently fantastic experience and has become our go to place for family celebrations. The menu has a wide range of options from pasta, to steaks and seafood and they do them all well! Last nights highlights were the butternut squash risotto, parmesan crusted fillets with ahi tuna, parmesan crusted filets and drunken shrimp, and the chicken risotto. Everyone in our party of six loved what they ordered.

    Whitney House is always a nice evening out. Nice menu selection of food and drinks. We enjoy the Tavern side which gives option of a high top table or booth. We put Tavern side booth preference in the notes section of reservation and it was accommodated. Dinner portions of meals we ordered could be easily shared or take some home to enjoy later. Service was very good.
