Restaurants near Castle Mound Pine Forest State Natural Area

This is our second Christmas Brunch at the Charmant. I chose this restaurant again as I was so impressed with last year’s Christmas Brunch. I believe the menu was the same this year but my wife and I tried different items. We enjoyed our time again and will probably make it again next year. The cornmeal pancakes were delicious! I had a side of ham which left me wanting more! My wife had the Charmant Breakfast with sausage links. She was very pleased with the scrambled eggs, sausage links and GF toast. I couldn’t finish my corn meal pancakes so took the remainder home. I’m not as big of an eater as I once was. The two pancakes for me were quite filling.

Our 2nd dinner experience at the Waterfront. First of all their staff was friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was very good at when to bring the various courses of our dinner to the table. We would rate them in the top 5 of the restaurant staffs we encountered since the start of our retirement 7 years ago. My wife had a filet & I had scallops, both prepared to our liking. The crab cake and the upgrade salads were fresh and tasty. All in all we would recommend the Waterfront for dinner and intend to return as soon as we can.

Our waitress was very nice and friendly. Boston cranberry tea and coffee excellent. The coconut shrimp and shrimp scampi were good. Some items were not as good; the mashed potato side was bland and could have included a pat of butter or something to add flavor.
