Pedigree Brand: A double-gated entry helps keep the pooches in. Fresh water from hoses and fountains provide refreshment in the summer—all set in a very lovely park.
Todd Kuna: An excellent modern-designed park with a great play area for kids, dog park, natural reserve area and a section for farmers market and other activities.
Dan Perkins: Get la colombe to go and drink it in the park for a relaxing afternoon

Joely Lara: The Red Velvet CheeseCake was soooo good! , and you could have that with their fresh water which is complimentary!
Jamie Olds: Banana pudding, red velvet cake, and the cheesecakes are my favorite
Serious Eats: The ultra-creamy texture of the banana pudding is interrupted with small chunks of banana and, best of all, Nilla Wafers that turn to tender cake after bathing in the pudding for a day or two.

C Rey: Try the Chicago pressed roll. It's a nice take on traditional sushi rolls and it comes with miso soup and a mandarin green salad. BYOB so bring a bottle of the good stuff.
