the Wine Kitchen on the Creek
This place is so, so good and worth any amount of time it takes to get there. (I live an hour away.)
Located next to the Carroll Creek walkway, this is the place to sit outside on a beautiful day. The inside is beautiful, too. Such a classy place!
Two former college friends and I enjoyed a lunch that had wonderful service, fantastic food, and we can't wait to go back again! The staff was patient as there was no one waiting for a table and since my group had a lot of catching up to do, they were nice enough to encourage us to stay. (We would've left had there been people waiting.)
The Wine Kitchen offers $16 lunch choices and all look good. Two of us had the wild mushroom strudel. OMG...we were talking about how good it was the rest of the day. The other friend had the steak salad and cleaned her plate. I tried a non-alcoholic Riesling and one friend had a flight of white wines. My Riesling was good with what I ate, but it wasn't a sweet Riesling which I prefer. Still, I wasn't disappointed. One friend got a scoop of the homemade pistachio ice cream and she said it was the best pistachio ice cream she's ever had. I would've loved the chocolate Opera Cake which sounded like a lovely and filling dessert, but I didn't so I plan on ordering it next time.

Cloverly Village Center
Varied shops, grocery, fast food, etc. Very busy lot.
Wintergreen Plaza
A mix of food places, grocery store, decent Starbucks, Dunking Donuts, Boba tea, sports related clothing stores, karate and more...I think I even saw a vet practice...Google for best list of stores. The parking lot is nuts because it is a busy plaza.
ALDI
I was clothes shopping in the area and saw this ALDIs, which was a blessing. I had a lot of produce on my shopping list and ALDIs aren't that close to where I live. I was impressed with the freshness of the produce and I was happy to find other shelf stable items to cross off my list. A nice selection of organics were here and keto breads and other items.
The staff here were very pleasant and I will go back when I'm in the area.

Bradley Shopping Center
This has a little bit of everything one needs. The deli on south side is awesome...Strosniders Hardware on the north side, with a bakery and other shops in-between, including a tiny CVS to mainly get prescriptions filled (there's a larger one literally across the street)...and more. A new pet place is next to the dell to get grooming done and possibly toys (I didn't have time to peek in).
