Amazing food! If you're a Master Chef fan, a must visit place. Bowen was on Master Chef Season 9 and was mentored by Gordon Ramsay. I take the chef or server recommendations, and we are never disappointed. His desserts are handmade, and crave-worthy.

About an hour away with fun hiking trails. My favorite is Trail #3. We pack a lunch for the hike. Likely no cell service in many parts so plan accordingly. Plan a half a day or a bit more including driving time.
