I attended the holiday artisan fair and was impressed both with the beauty of the building, and the quality of the artisans work. The landscaping was gorgeous as well. Greeting guests outdoors at the entryway was a vendor of coffee. Wish I had tasted some. The place was so popular, the parking lot was pretty full but I got a spot and somebody pulled out. There was a lot of parking spaces and the grounds were delightful. I was glad to see an elevator for the second floor. This would be a lovely location for an event like a wedding.

The Miniature Museum is in it's earlier stage of development since regulations about requiring elevator access has limited the displays so far to only the first floor but it is already a wealth of top quality miniatures with name artisans on display. So much to see. PLUS, the architecture of the building itself is a delight. There is a play room for children as well. On sight parking. Cannot wait until they complete the elevator project because they already have a large collection to add to the upper floors and I really want to see them. The miniatures currently on display also tell a story of history as they reflect many eras and styles.

Love that there are vegetarian options and there is an outside eating area that is attractive. Some different and unique items. Fellow diner felt the soup was too salty and I thought my quinoa chili was a bit salty but the staff responded appropriately. They also contribute to environmental correctness with things like metal cups for water to minimize waste. My taco was great. Would definitely give this place another try.

Small gallery but full of interesting artwork. Nice greeting by staff. Love finding a photography exhibit. This one was juried. Some images were unique and interesting. Prices were varied. Vintage records seemed to be connected somehow but I didn’t pursue that aspect.
