Food Scene
Agave and Rye: They have a unique drink menu and an elevated take on tacos. Their decor is eclectic and includes original artwork that creates a stimulating environment. They also offer outdoor seating with heaters for chilly evenings. It is super popular here in Troy, so I recommend making reservations!

Smith's is one of my favorites. It has great ambiance and excellent staff and menu. My husband and I usually sit outside on the deck overlooking the water. It is very private and quite.
Mr. Smith, the owner, is friendly and often wandering the restaurant chatting with diners about their meal to ensure they are happy.
We have had a variety of dishes and have always been pleased with the quality and portions. We were especially impressed with the Maryland Crab Cake, Walleye Special and Guiness Seafood Platter!
Smith's also has a cozy bar area if you are looking for a nice place to have a few drinks!

The Caroline is one of our "go to" restaurant here in Troy. It's located just a few blocks from our front door and we alway enjoy the food and service!
You can eat in the bar area, at one of the intimate tables or outside on the patio. We have enjoyed all three options!
The food is great! My husband usually has the Fish and Chips and I usually choose the Linguini, which they will add any protein to. I have had salmon and chicken so far. We have always had a great time! Oh, just FYI, their Margarita's are awesome!
Please make reservations.They are very popular and I wouldn't want you to miss out

Their Lobster Mac and Cheese and Steak Medallions are our favorites but you really can't go wrong with any of their dishes.
Basil's on Market is also very popular and I recommend reservations!

If you want an awesome home style breakfast, this is your place! Holly's is located in Casstown, an 8 minute drive from Fairwinds.
I have to say that they have the best breakfast in the area if you like sausage gravy and biscuits!! Holly's offers homefries AND hashbrowns. Would you like jalapenos in your hashbrowns? No problem!
Our family, all 10 to 15 of us, go to Holly's at least once a month! We love it!

The Brew Barn has an excellent selection of hand crafted beers made right here in Troy! You will love the ambience of the old church with original stained glass windows and chandeliers.
The beer selection is extensive and the staff is knowledgeable about the flavor profiles. They will help you make a selection based on your preferences. Their food offerings are dips, pizza, mac and cheese, nachos and more. My favorite has been the Buffalo Chicken dip and the BBQ Pork Sliders!
Be sure to check out the Bier Garten where you can enjoy corn hole and other games. There are cafe lights for the evening lending it a special ambience for spending time with friends!
