Dixie Quick's Magnolia Room
Check the chalkboard first as you enter this restaurant. The menu is new each Sunday to feature whatever is fresh and seasonal in the market. In the spring, a fresh asparagus and prosciutto omelet may share the menu with classic flapjacks and a breakfast quesadilla. In summer, the garden bounty from local farmers accompanies fresh eggs and perhaps even salmon eggs Benedict. Reservations are required due to Dixie Quick's small dining room, and all members of the party must be present before the table is seated.
