Rozzi's Restaurant

Reviewed By Linda L

Good food, friendly and efficient service, and reasonable prices. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meals - salads, omelets, sandwiches, and fish platters. Very good coffee too! Gotta return to try their chicken pot pie! Several gluten free items for those that require/want that option. They offer lunch time delivery Mon. - Fri..

L Restaurant

Reviewed By StomWiltshire_UK

A group of us were in the area for a sporting event and I had called L Restaurant to make a reservation. My first impression was very good! The person I spoke to was pleasant and efficient.When we arrived on the Saturday evening, our table was ready and every member of staff we interacted with proved to be delightful.Our server was attentive and the food was delicious; freshly prepared and just perfect. Two members of our party had particular dietary needs but this did not prove to be a problem as every effort was made to ensure that their food was prepared to the same high standard.I chose this restaurant because of the positive reviews, which, in my opinion, are well deserved. If we were in the area again, we would definitely return!

Very good breakfast. Warm and inviting atmosphere. My parents go here all the time and they seem to enjoy the waitress who treats them like family. Not much else to say other than good food and makes my family happy.

Chef/Owner Chris Bruno is creating magical dishes from the kitchen of his new restaurant, Chef's Door. We loved the cozy, intimate ambiance of the dining room. Candles lit throughout the restaurant is a nice touch. There's a wall in the bar filled with old multi- colored doors that give it texture and depth that couldn't be achieved with paint or wallpaper. Very cool.We had dinner and drinks at the bar and the bartender, Ryan, was great. He's a personable cool guy.It wasn't easy deciding what to have for dinner. Everything on the menu looks so good. They have a nice list of six beers on tap so we started there. Then we ordered the Pork Belly Chiccarones appetizer. Pork belly heavily rubbed with a great spice rub deep fried and served with a gorgonzola dressing for dipping. The pork belly was so good it didn't even need the gorgonzola dressing. It was great either way. Then my wife had the GBT Panini. Goat cheese, bacon, tomato and honey on a panini. Delicious sandwich!I had the Roasted Half Duck over coconut rice and a ginger shitake mushroom sauce. It was a generous portion of duck on my plate. Very tender meat and crispy skin.Chef Chris and his kitchen staff cook flawless delicious food.My wife and I keep saying that we really have to stop ordering desserts. But Ryan said the chef makes all the desserts in house, so we had to indulge in at least one. We split the Key Lime Custard Cheesecake with a Strawberry Tequila sauce. I love key lime pie and he took that dessert to a whole new level. Amazing!We almost went there again last night, but they're not open on Sundays. Whether you say, Open sesame or Reservations for two, you'll be sure to have a Magical Memorable Meal.

Sunset Grill at Crestbrook Park

restaurant located on public golf course with breathtaking views of the sunset and pond. Moderatly priced food. Great atmosphere. Modern Bar. Catering available

Reviewed By Paul D

Great setting overlooking the lake and park pool, a big restaurant at the town golf course. Nice interior with large bar and separate table restaurant. Attentive bartender. Good selection of tap beers were perfect after a round of golf. The only negative was that the food service was a little slow - and my grilled Reuben was slightly burnt from over-grilling. Overall recommended though.

Triple Play Sports Bar and Grille

Reviewed By michaelrR9604QU

The food is decent. Large bar crowd, mostly drinking beer and talking loud. Atmosphere is lacking. Large room divided into bar area and dinning (?) area. By a low divider.Loaded chips pretty good, nice burger. For what it is, it is a bit pricey.

Uncommon Grill

Reviewed By Chris H

We had plans to meet friends for Monday night gathering . We had made reservations and we seated right away. They offer some very nice appitizers along with a varied menu. The place is very noisy if your trying to have conversation with friends. Centrally located for our night to meet with friends.

Rock Garden Cafe

Reviewed By BrianC6761

Rock Garden is a good restaurant with plenty to choose from. They have some for everyone even kids. It can be crowded and the seating is not abundant, so get there earlier than you may want to. Their biggest issue, it has gotten better, is the speed at which they serve people. When I first went (years ago) the wait was agonizing. Again, the have gotten better but still can be slow.
