While spending the afternoon dining at a new restaurant, it is a feeling of surprise to realize you’ve been missing out on something so special, surrounded by a staff that works together to make the experience unforgettable.

Um, be careful when you order wine...

I like to sit in the bar at Kirby’s. They have a big comfy couch beside a lake, with a beautiful patio. They feature live music on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

The servers still make sure all of the other...
