Pho Anh Huyen Vietnamese restaurant is a personal favourite when I don’t have a lot of time. The service is quick, the owner has a great sense of humour and the food is always decent. Please note: the dishes are BIG, so order wisely!

Nice little spot for traditional Greek fare. It is recommended to make reservations, as the place is quite small.

Great wildlife experience for all who love animals, especially majestic wolves. This not-for-profit wolf-dog sanctuary is a great, interactive educational experience for all, and provides an inside look at wolf dog ownership, homing and challenges, and perspectives on the importance of preserving wolves in the wild. My cousin planned this into his trip out west and absolutely loved his visit! Please make reservations, as there is limited availability for tours! Don’t forget your camera, this is an experience that you just won’t get anywhere else with these beautiful creatures!
