“We tried Loretta's for lunch since we were in the area it was recommended by a friend who lived nearby. The Chicken Lorraine was quite good and my husband had the meatloaf with rice and gravy and okra. I also had the macaroni and cheese and the okra as well. Everything was hot, fresh and yummy. We will go there again when we're in the Mundy Mill Road area next time we shop around Sam's Club.“

“My husband and I decided to go on an impromptu brunch date and realized we hadn't been to Aquaterra Bistro in quite a while. We were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed it!

The atmosphere has a relaxed, casual feel while still feeling special enough for a date. We started with the smoked cream cheese appetizer, and it was incredible. The blackberry preserve and citrus mustard paired perfectly with the smoked cream cheese and created a combination of flavors that was absolutely delicious. Easily a 10/10 dish and something I'd order again in a heartbeat.

For our main course, we both chose the seafood omelet. We were pleasantly surprised by how generously it was filled with crab and shrimp. Combined with plenty of cheese, it was rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying.

Overall, it was a wonderful brunch experience with great food and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back for another date soon!“
