Veteran's Day was a holiday at Tom's work...so when he asked if I'd like to go out to lunch with him, how long do you think it took me to say yes? Haha, you're right...no time at all!
We traveled to a nearby town and picked a little cafe on Main Street that we'd never been to before called Stella, Bella, & Lucy's.
Did you notice the paw print on the sign in the photo below? The restaurant was opened by three ladies and named after their three dogs: Here's a picture of all three dogs on the wall that we captured with Tom's phone: The decor was elegant and antique-y, and most of the items on display were for sale. Here's a shot of the inside of the cafe. You can spot Tom near the back paying for our meal: Do you like to take pictures of food in restaurants? I like to document our meals out, but I try not to be too obvious and make a scene. Here's Tom's sandwich and fruit...absolutely love the plate they served the food on and also love the antique embroidered tablecloth: Here's my lunch, Western quiche and fruit: What an enjoyable time out! The food was good, atmosphere delightful, fresh flowers on all the tables added a nice touch, and the company just perfect!

Looks like a fun place for lunch. I think I enjoy the pretty dishes and linens as much as the food sometimes. :)

Hello Deb.
I adore that place, the lovely tablecloth had me. So much to look at inside too. I bet not too many people were playing on their phones, which seems to happen so much these days.
Have a happy day.
Bev.

Hi Deb! I really enjoy reading about your trips and the places where you dine. This one is really neat. Love the name of the restaurant, and look, they gave you both a full set of flatware. It bugs me when we eat out and don't get enough flatware to do justice to the meal. Love the tablecloth and dishes, too. Have a great week!
p.s. I bet it's cold in Va. tonight. It's going to be 23 degrees F here...brrr.

Gregory takes pictures of his food all of the time.
Nice restaurant.I can't even remember the last time Chris had Veterans day off and he is a veteran.
We both got free haircuts at Great Clips,then had our cars washed for free at a local place and a free meal at O Charleys.Also 20% discount at Bed Bath and Beyond for being veterans.

Lovely presentation, both theirs and yours. Glad you had the opportunity. Is Tom a veteran? My kids had a free meal. I enjoyed the flags at the cemetery as I drove by on the school bus. Joyce

Love the restaurant, very pretty, terrific looking food, but I mostly love that you and Tom were out on a date. :-)
Hugs,
