    This is my second visit to Abernethy’s with Chef Pyet I was there for brunch on Saturday. I ordered the guacamole to start. It was perfectly seasoned with crispy tortilla chips. For my entree I ordered huevos rancheros. It was a perfect meal. The presentation is very appealing. I definitely enjoyed my meal and hope to return again. It was a little cool so I had inside seating but on a warm day the outside seating is very pleasant.

    My afternoon tea experience at Dahlia was so wonderful, that I already made three more reservations! Beautiful ambience, delicious food/tea/cocktails, and amazing service from Lluvia (the lovely woman in charge of the tea service). I had the vegan tea and my friend had the regular tea, and we were both super pleased with the yummy offerings and delightful presentation. Can’t wait to go back!
