Fantastic eatery! Locally owned, great food and bar scene. The only thing is it's a bit noisy as the acoustics are not great, but it's worth it! I like going for a late lunch/early dinner, it's super quiet​ at that time.

There are no true words to describe True Nature Healing Arts. You simple MUST go there, to experience what local owners Deva and Eaden Shantey have created for our community. Part healing arts center with yoga, a day spa, massage, coffee and tea house, smoothies and an incredible Peace garden with edible plants, a labyrinth and a reflexology walk. Phenomenal gift shop if you're into crystals, essential oils and natural healing. As I said, seeing is experiencing!
