Food scene
This is our top pick for a special celebration and it is literally two minutes down the road from us. The restaurant was a former schoolhouse which helps give it its country charm that is so unique and inviting. Mrs. Mitchell's is also known for its food and service! You just can't go wrong here! In our opinion, this is one of the best fine-dining experiences in the area! You will definitely need reservations days in advance to get a table here, so plan ahead!
