💬 My Visit

After a morning workout, I stopped by for brunch and loved the soft, feminine vibe, friendly service, and how fresh everything tasted. While I ordered a few non–Blue Zones dishes (hi, Potato Frittata & Quiche 👀), I’ll definitely be back to try their certified options.

French Bastille Day Dinner — July 14

A four-course French dinner, wine pairings, live music & garden-party energy.
