    We got married at the Prairie Star (17) years ago and every year on our anniversary we have a wonderful dinner there - just the two of us. Rebecca planned and orchestrated our wedding. And as hoped for - She's was there last night as usual making sure everyone was being treated to a 5 star experience. Our waitress Francesca is also an experienced server and her knowledge of the food and drink menu was right on the money -plus she is a delight to meet. We had the best anniversary evening yet. Superb food - atmosphere only surpassed by the graciousness of our hostesses. You'll enjoy your time there as well. THANKS TO ALL!

    Three of us had lunch in the Santa Ana Café. The location and the ambience are excellent. Food was very good. One friend had two chili Rellenos and a cup of the green chili stew both of which she thoroughly enjoyed. Myself and our other friend both had the Santa Fe omelette. She added mushrooms. I added mushrooms and spinach. We were busy talking and not paying attention and the server did not ask for clarification … she ended up getting mine with the spinach and I ended getting hers without the spinach. We were both into them before we realized the error. Our waiter, Will, was excellent! The young man who served the plates pleasant and helpful, but that’s an error that should not have happened. For this reason I give four stars. We also had the green chili apple pie for dessert. Very tasty but disappointing as I said to Will, if I didn’t know there was green chili in there I wouldn’t know. Barely barely just a hint any less and there would be nothing so definitely did not qualify in my mind as a green chili apple pie. It was just apple pie. but, as I said, it was delicious, if a very small for the price ($10).
