When the weather is nice, we love heading to Madison's Wine Garden at Old Edward's Inn. It's the perfect place to enjoy a meal outside while listening to sounds of their miniature waterfall. They don't take reservations at the Wine Garden so be sure to arrive early! When we go, we arrive about 30-minutes before they open on the weekends and enjoy a decadent lunch.

Highlands Burritos is so delicious! It's Chipotle style in that you order at the counter as they assemble your meal. Their house margaritas are perfection and their queso is a must!
