Delicious!! We always stopped here prior to moving to Richmond for their Sunday brunch. Never had a less than delicious bite from here. Outdoor seating under a roof during the warmer months. Hidden gem in our opinion for those that don't know about it.

HOLY COW!! This place will blow you away as soon as you walk in. 2000+ spirits on the wall in the bar area and Mac knows exactly what and how to pair your tastes to a new experience through a custom cocktail. Fried brussel sprouts leaves are to die for - if I could, I'd eat them at a movie instead of popcorn; you can't stop eating them. Menu is great and specials are always a treat to try out. You'd never expect this place from it being on the outside entrance to Regency Mall, which is getting a (much needed) renovation. Do yourself a favor and go here immediately. Our favorite spot yet!

Walking distance
Cold pressed juice shop. I have not made it by yet. Know several people that go on the regular. Nothing is heat pasteurized or heat processed. Straight fruit and vegetable juice they way it was intended to be. She has numerous recipes to choose from and the ones I've tried are tasty!

Nice mall that is going through changes and renovations. Great spot for us to go on bad weather days - park under the covered area and the kids go play in the play area, grab a pretzel, get your nails done and do some window shopping. Close by and plenty of stores with options for all ages. JC Penney is the new anchor for the mall.
