Wonderful Lunch at Siren Hall With the Ladies in Elk Rapids

Last Thursday, Nancy, Jacqui, and I were all up north at the same time and met for lunch at Siren Hall in Elk Rapids. My daughter joined us for a perfect meal on the outside patio. Click the title above for a direct link to Siren Hall.


Our appetizer was the crispy goat cheese cake with amazing grilled tomato basil vinaigrette, arugula,
shaved fennel, pine nuts.

We couldn't resist trying Siren Hall's orzo & shrimp pasta salad, served with baby greens and crunchy bread; crazy good.

Last May, Becky Waller McKeny was in town and had lunch with Nancy Dryer Deeb. I have sweet memories of these original Holly Elementary girls in Brownies.
