My boyfriend and I were in town for the peach bowl, we stayed at the Kimpton Hotel and chose to brunch at The Betty after checkout. I love a good Bloody Mary and this Bloody Mary did not fall short…it was delicious! Our food was also really good and it wasn’t obnoxiously busy which I appreciated. I did make a reservation that morning though just in case!

We went for a birthday dinner, was our second time at Joey D’s. The food is great and great value for a steak house type restaurant. They have a lot more than just steak check out the menu. We will definitely be eating there again very soon.

First time at Park Tavern and it was not as the website had led us to believe. Sat down under in the covered patio. It was very dog friendly, but very noisy from the blaring sound system made it hard for us to carry on normal conversation. Also, there is no table service, you have to order at the bar and go inside to pick up your food. While the staff is friendly and accommodating, it's not what i expected it to be. And there was no mention of this on their website. In fact, the website still recommends making an online reservation (which was totally unnecessary on a Sunday at 11:30am.)
