Live music is still on the menu along with some new BBQ options you don't want to miss, and for all our Ramona fans (and there are a lot of you) she will still be putting in appearances now and then - when she isn't out on the water!
Turning to in the north end of town, we welcome back Scott's Family Restaurant but with a twist! Don't worry they are still serving up classic breakfast specials but for late lunch and dinner they have added their take on Indian Bistro Cuisine, and it is delicious!
