We love Cafe Prague. On Valentine’s Day they had new items on the menu. I tried the mixed grill (Steak, chicken and shrimp) and it was fantastic. Also love the pate that comes with the bread. The service was great too. ❤️

Maya Del Sol has absolutely become our most favorite restaurant. The food is interesting, delicious and always piping hot. The servers understand the need to be GF and know the menu well in that regard and I’m grateful that in addition to knowing the GF details alert the kitchen on my behalf. I love that there are different price points from $30 entrees to many options in the $20’s. All of the wait staff and bussers are friendly and attentive. They always check back in after the food has been served!
