The meal was delectable and the spices in the Bloody Mary with olives just right! The poached eggs were cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned.

Although I haven’t personally hi visited their store, I’ve received gifts of Videri Chocolates for the past 2 years. If you’re a dark chocolate enthusiast, as I am, these are the best artesian ganache, truffle and caramels, from a small business passionate about their products. These are not too crazy, but definitely not boring.
