Very flexible and they have a great selection to pick from. Overall the food was amazing, and their staff worked so hard to make sure the meals were perfect. Everything was on time and all the food choices stayed full. Not once did I see their staff standing still, they were always making sure things were clean and full. If you have any events coming up, up you should give them a call!

The good: I ordered flowers for mom's birthday from a local florist's website because I wanted to…read moresupport their local business. They were not delivered on her birthday, so I left a message that night asking them to please call and let me know what happened. They returned my call first thing in the morning, turns out she wasn't home when they tried to deliver and she missed their call. There wasn't an attempt to notify me of the missed attempt (would have been a nice touch, but not expected by me). They said they would deliver them this morning which they did. The bad: The arrangement is quite off from their website. I am out of state and went off the pictures, I do understand that some substitutions might need to be made during the pandemic shortages. However, I would have paid more for actual flower substitutions, rather than a bunch of big green leaves. When I saw what my mom received vs what I ordered I was embarrassed I do not plan to be a returning customer, I would not recommend ordering online. Maybe you'll have better luck as a face to face customer. I am honest in my review and tried to be fair in describing my experience with Lowe's Flowers.

I have to shout-out Katie and Eleanor + the crew at Something Blue. My first experience at a…read morecompletely different bridal shop had felt a little all over the place, rushed & way too invasive in personal space for my liking. This was the second bridal shop I had tried to find a wedding dress (something I wasn't even convinced I really wanted). That was until I met Katie in a last minute Saturday morning try on appointment with my future mother-in-law in attendance. She was very friendly, straight forward & made this visit effortless. The experience was comfortable and felt undemanding. What surprised me is; I got a dress that 100% loved on the hanger but was not what I thought I wanted AT ALL! However; when I put it on, I just absolutely loved how fun & unique it was! I'm glad Katie was so honest and had me try on different styles to rule some out. My only hope is that I can convince my fiancé to come try on tux's. I would recommend this business to anyone! Side note; this was an old bank & the vault inside is super cool.

Loved that she delivered (& gave us an approximate time frame), used the cutest white large salad bowls with scalloped edges, & left a number for us to call when WE were ready for her to pick up her serving items. I also really appreciated the cute list of food she provided for the display. The broccoli/cauliflower salad we ordered was one of the most popular, everyone raved about it & it was the 1st to be gone. We only ordered 50 servings of it & wished we had more.

Just cannot say enough good things about the Center Grove Orchard. If you go to their website at…read morecentergroveorchard.com you'll see that there is MUCH more than a store on site. All sorts of activities for families, including a corn maze, Jumping Pillows, Pedal Carts, Super Slides, Goat Walk, and unlimited CGO Express Train rides. (Sorry ... I copied that from their website.) But, now I wanna talk about what's offered in the store. APPLES. And more apples. Pies, jams, salsa (best I've had in the area), dressings, dips, they have it all. The website claims 11 venues around the farm to enjoy. I haven't found all of them. But, inside the store they have the best dang coffee around, and awesome pies (with ice cream of course if you're interested.) Oh yeah, take home a couple frozen chicken pot pies. THE BEST Yep, you knew this was coming. If you follow me, you know I check out the restroom at places we visit, since I feel the condition of these facilities are as important as the food. On this busy afternoon, after what I'm sure were many men and young men in and out of the men's room, I can report the restroom was tidy with just a few areas of water dripped on the floor. Good job Center Grove! So, make the journey, you'll be glad you did.
