We love The Oak for Breakfast or lunch. It is a go-to for brunch with Mimosas or Lunch with a cold beer. Jimmys Pub is a go-to for an early dinner or appetizer with the family by a fire pit! It is great for a casual early dinner or appetizers. The kids love the menu, have plenty of room to roam, and the views are incredible.
