First park in the small lot by the front door, go in to the desk and tell them you're there for their restaurant. They'll give you a pass to the garage below the hotel where parking is free and … [Read more...]
Those words, "Because the Details Matter" caught my eye on the Guest Satisfaction Survey at Posana Cafe. Really, they describe the entire package that is Posana.

Anchoring the Northern end of Main St., Smoky Mountain Cafe (MAP) is the perfect spot for a snack or lunch break halfway through a stroll up one side of Main (from South to North) and back down the other. Long and narrow, the Cafe sports counter and bistro (high and low top) seating. Headed for the wonderfully-windowed back seating area, we put the breaks … [Read more...]

A couple things to say here about McDonald's:Yes, McDonald's was my friend when our three children were younger and into three or four sports/activities each. It was a stop-gap solution to keeping everyone fed at a time in our family life that included kids changing from one uniform to another in the back of the mini-van.No, I don't usually eat at McDonald's (or any other fast food spot) these days, unless I'm on a long road trip and get a craving for their fries.Yes, I'm amazed the mornings I … [Read more...]
