My family and I went here for the first time and loved it! We have valet parking, $15 for a vehicle and you can stay however long you wanted. This place is such a gem! I love the aesthetic of it. It gives off such a vibrant, peaceful, calm atmosphere. Definitely one of the places to go to if you want to take some photos. Also, there is a gigantic chess board, so cool! I freaking love chess! For food, we ordered something small because we didn't want to eat too much. Just sampling. We got chicken tenders, a burger, shrimp salad, and some kind of mushroom dish. Man oh man, I tell yah. Everything was freaking delicious and yummy! The flavors were on point! Nothing was bad! The drinks were also amazing. 10/10 highly recommend! Such a beautiful and lovely place!

Super cute place! Came when we were staying at Calamigo's and decided to do lunch there. It's not far from the ranch & parking is plentiful and easy. I honestly loved the vibes, very instagrammable! The entire cafe entirely outdoors and is spacious w/ tons of cute decor. There is even a little lake there! We brought our drinks and sat by the lake. It is def a place that you can easily spend the entire afternoon and lose track of time relaxing, but hey that's what getaway are for right? The biggest complaint would be the food and drinks, they were not very memorable.

Omgosh what a cute af place to hang out at or have a small gathering with friends. There's a grab and go, bar, and coffee shop in the establishment. It's open seating throughout the place with a few photo spots. There's also a small lake where you can enjoy nature for a little bit. The food was decent. I had roasted cauliflower, cheese & charcuterie plate and pulled pork with fries. All of it wasn't bad taste wise and portion wise as well. I recommend the cauliflower. The charcuterie is good for sharing and is pretty filling. For drinks I highly suggest getting the royal flush. It's made with vodka and has lavender sprigs and gives it such a pretty purple color. The staff was great and I would absolutely come back here again. It is valet only for $14 and they accept card.

Perhaps I should have checked before coming here but there were WAY too many unruly children running around unattended. Not sure if that is a common occurrence here but it is certainly not for those who care to have a relaxing dining experience. The saloon coffee however was outstanding. The property itself was beautiful and the food was delicious.
