"Last year, my husband and I had reservations to celebrate our anniversary at Salazar but the pandemic put an end to those plans and so much more. This year, with both of us vaccinated and our anniversary landing on a gorgeous spring Sunday, we ventured to eat out for the first time in one year. Salazar’s brunch is a hidden jewel I’ve only just discovered."

Their pastas, like tagliatelle Bolognese comes in three sizes: $12, $17 and a family-sized $22."

Here you can spend some time walking around the beautifully landscaped gardens and watching the children have some fun at the children’s playground."

The conservatory hosts three annual shows including the very popular Butterfly Show which runs from late March to June."
