NEW THIS YEAR: Reservations are REQUIRED each Monday by noon. When you arrive and check-in on Wednesday, you’ll be given a ticket to exchange for your meal. If you decide to drop in at the last minute, you will be so very welcome, but know that the kitchen crew will only prepare a few extra servings beyond reservations received.
Back with us is our popular Chef Alfreda Beach and several Third guest cooks. They know just how to please our children’s taste buds, but keep the adults asking for more! Parents, when all the kids leave at 6:15 for their activities, you can enjoy 30 more minutes of leisurely eating and conversation before adult classes start at 6:45.
