We need a few restaurants that offer more than the normal stuff found everywhere. It is worth a try. If it does not work they will resort to the old.
Welcome back Barry you are THE MAN !
I look forward to having Sunday brunch at Waterlot Inn once again.
This is great news! Looking forward to the opening.
This great news for this iconic restaurant to reopen. Had lots of great memories and food there. Now that many foodies are eating cleaner and healthier will there be offerings of gluten free, dairy free or even vegan options. Hopefully, this has been considered and not just vegetables on a plate, or desserts that are so dense it’s like eating paper and nothing to wash it down but attractive and tasty options.
