George And Amy's Guidebook
Food scene
The food is consistently good and the service is quick. Be careful with the margaritas; they are known to be strong. We enjoy the beef fajitas, the India salad, the chalupas, and the soft taco plates most. But everything is good!

Lots of shops, from their lovely furniture store to a collection of smaller shops that are always improving and changing. The grounds are just a beautiful place to hang out and take pics with friends and family. Inspiring and wholesome.
