    We enjoyed a pre-Valentine's dinner with amazing service from Princis, fabulous recommendations to try the TaterTot pizza special (really good), the pan-seared sea scallops (plentiful and tasty), the chicken tortilla soup (hot and yummy), and kept our five-year-old in check with calamari, brie cheese curds, pepperoni pizza and green beans (he is an eating machine). In the end, it was a fun night out with consistent food choices, impeccable service, and a lively atmosphere.

    When you walk into Bacio for Happy Hour or dinner it's always a vibrant atmosphere! Last night was no exception, in fact it was super electric by the time we arrived for our early 5:45 dinner reservation. It was a combination of early Valentine celebrations along with their special Cajun additions for the season! The specials were fabulous, felt like you were in the kitchen of Commander's Palace in New Orleans! Courtney knew what we liked and made some very good recommendations! Courtney is one of our favorites! Don't know how long the Cajun specials will be on the menu, but check them out before they're gone! And, if they are gone, there are plenty of great items that will never disappoint you!

    The Good Day Cafe remains one of my favorite meetup spots - whether for a business meeting or simply for delicious breakfast food! Service always comes with a smile - and a ready pot of fresh coffee! I had their chicken sausage today - for the first time ever - along with scrambled eggs. I will order that again, for sure! Thank you, "GDC," and I will undoubtedly return soon.
