Guests rave about the Watermelon Salad. The fresh ingredients are impressive and we appreciate the hearty portion!
We recommend pairing The Shrimp and Stone Ground Grits with the Tomato Wine! The dish includes three big, spicy shrimp with lots of sausage and sauce.
We’re not a fan of the texture (grainy) but the Florida kumquat pie is VERY fruity and cute. The crust is flaky, buttery, and delicious. Of course, that toasted marshmallow on top is a nice touch!
A good cold treat for the price, the Watermelon passion fruit slush is super yummy. We like that it’s a little tart. And even if you’re not a watermelon fan, the passion fruit flavor trumps the melon taste. Give it a try!
