Vegetarian/Vegan spot. Highly recommend some of the grain bowls in the takeaway case for a fast meal. Or if you have time to wait for an item off the menu, I've never been disappointed.

Generally need reservations unless you can find a spot at the bar. Great farm-to-table menu with impressive flavours. While it can $$$-$$$$, it's an absolute gem.

Great local dog park with large fenced area for big dogs and a separate small fenced area for small dogs. Also a trail that circles the park if you're looking for more exercise. On hot days I often take my dogs down to the Kayak launch spot and let them jump in the Little Miami River for a swim. Just be sure to have a towel, the exit can be a bit muddy!
