Once again, Mediterra provided a superb dining experience. From the warm welcome upon our early arrival and attention to our seating preference to the quick and charming table service, they delivered. The menu was creative, two of us adventured into specials that we loved and one ordered a basic burger and fries that he declared the best he’d eaten anywhere. I will be back again with more friends.

We love coming to Ninety acres for special occasions. Last night was a birthday dinner. Love the ambiance. I like sitting in either the bar area or on a banquette in the main dining room. Always a classy experience!

Rosalita's is a good local Mexican restaurant. There is a bar scene for those who see that vibe, and a family section as well. Prices at Rosalita's are very reasonable. They have a nice variety of cocktails and a large menu. Portions are large and the food is very tasty.
