Finally talked Heidi into giving Southern Sisters another shot. Breakfast this time, same results! Won't be returning...'nuff said!

Just came from there...excellent!

I'm sorry, but I'm actually going to go back to the subject...Southern Sisters restaurant. We have an appointment at 9:15 this morning so, after reading the review on their breakfast and that they open at 8, we thought we can have our breakfast and still be on time! WRONG! We got there at 8:05, doors closed, no lights so, once again dissappointment. I don't think they have a clue about running a business! One of the owners said they will be open 8-8 every day. Maybe they meant Mexican time!

Heidi and I went yesterday and I debated whether or not to post this. Our experience was completely underwhelming! The venue is beautiful but, that's where the "beauty" stops. Ordered our drinks (ice tea and a coke) waited about 10 minutes for the coke. The tea was served immediately. Heidi asked for coke "normal" and the waitress tried to convince her that menus azucar was regular coke. I ordered the southern fried chicken and asked for mashed potatos (in Spanish) at least 3 or 4 times. Heidi ordered a burger which was ok. When my chicken arrived, I got french fries. The batter, which should be golden brown, was sort of tan and the chicken was red around the bone...obviously not cooked long enough. The service, or lack of, was terrible. The key to success in a restaurant is consistantly high quality food and excellent customer servive. Obviously, they didn't get the memo. Won't be returning any time soon! Too many good places from which to choose. I almosr forgor, $437 including 2 pieces of pie to go.

I don't have much information about this new restaurant. They are located in the house which is on the west side of the cemetary. Stopped by to look around and talked to one of the "sisters". She said they will be doing a "soft" opening tomorrow starting at 8:00 am. The only items we talked about for breakfast were hash browns, grits and biscuits and gravy....peeked my interest! We found out because a guy that used to work at our place stopped by our shop and told us. We think it will be breakfast, lunch and dinner. We just noticed we can see the place from our living room window...cool!

Heidi and I just got home after another excellent meal at Casa Linda. It is absolutely our favorite reastaurant in town. Today, for me it was the short ribs. They bring a knife similar to the one used in Psycho, however, no knife is needed as the meat falls completely off the bone. Heidi had the fettuccine carbonara which, as usual, was incredible. She forced me to taste it. Today, we met the chef and thanked him. Back Sunday for eggs benedict!

Thanks to both of you! I'll call Oscar. Unfortunately, we had a "not so pleasant" experience with Las Vegas. Again, ghank you very much!

Does anyone know a good upholstery guy in the area? Muchas gracias!

I wanted to start another thread about this excellent restaurant. Heidi and I have not experienced the "noisey" situation as we usually eat our big meal around 2:30-3:00. I can't remenber the last time we went out for a meal at night! What I do know is that Casa Linda is our very favorite restaurant here at Lakeside. I've had everytning from their breakfast burrito to their Rack of Lamb and have been absolutely thrilled with the quality of the food. We were there again yesterday and had the Fettuccini Carbonara. Heidi ordered a side salad....excellent. our waitress brought the bill and a minute later returned and said that they had made a mistake and over charged us on the salad and corrected the bill. This impressed me greatly. I guess if the noise was a problem, I'd wear ear plugs to eat there!?

I forgot to mention, Heidi "allowed" me 1 bite of her cheesecake!

I tnink so...and bigger?

If today was an example of things to come, congratulations on entering into what I perceive to be an excellent partnership! I would walk there just for the Creme Brulee! Good luck on your future retirement plans!

Heidi and I ate there today and all I can say is WOW! They serve lunch from 12 to 2. We arrived about 2:15 and got the dinner menu....glad we did. Their menu is quite extensive from burgers to rack of lamb! We both settled on Spaghetti Carbonara. It was absolutely delicious. Tons of chicken, bacon and mushrooms and, the sauce was excellent. Then, being the "food slut" that J am, I ordered the Creme Brulee for dessert OMG! Heidi took home huge piece of New York style cheesecake. Don't know about the authenticity but, it too, is excellent. The service was very attentive and friendly. We were VERY impressed and will be returning soon! By the way, it's now Casa Linda.

Thanks!

Always enjoy eating there and yesterday a customer said he thought they were now serving breakfast. Anyone know???
