I haven't been yet, but from what I hear, it is a wondrous castle built by a visionary man. It's an amazing sight to see, but not where one would foolishly take lightly, an implication of safety. Visit responsibly, please.

Nice little store, one out of three shops run by a nice family. From my experience, they will take the time to talk to you and, the items that I looked at in their stores were genuine, and reasonably priced instead of cheap knockoffs. I have yet to tey their restaurant, but I am excited! :-)

Food Scene
It's a cute little Irish pub with an atmosphere that reminds me of the ones that I saw in Ireland. The staff is usually friendly. The food and drink selection have always been excellent. I've heard that they offer trivia night, but I haven't been yet. There's a nice outdoor seating area out back, you do have to go through the kitchen to get to it, but it's quite nice.

The local Chinese food restaurant for when you just want a quiet night in with some yummy takeout. Perfect for what I call VegFest, on a rainy day, in sweatpants, watching TV or a good movie.
This is the place that delivered my birthday dinner this year, which actually fell on Chinese New Year. They were helping others celebrate their New Year. It made me smile inside to have this gift on my birthday. :-)
