Next weekend, I’m taking my mother and two of my daughters to one of my cousins’ wedding reception in the Lion's club hall of a small town up north. She got married on Sanibel Island in a beach destination wedding on the west coast of Florida about three weeks ago and stayed down south with her family until this week. I decided to take my mother shopping for a new outfit (Jacque Vert of course) to go to the reception with the help of my youngest daughter who got her diploma in Fashion Management so its nice to have an expert in the family when it comes to clothes. After all of the festivals to which I’ve been going lately and dining on exotic food, I hope that I’ll fit into my clothes as well.

The total cost for three was $ 83 plus tax and gratuities.

We didn’t have any deserts as I find them not very appealing at this restaurant and my daughter agrees with me. The service was friendly but slow and I ordered chicken with my salad which didn’t arrive. I would recommend this establishment for folks who have time to spare. The glasses of wine were a bit pricey for 6 oz. but the mixed drink was really good. Ambience good but not striking. Moderately satisfied.
