In today’s dining feature, reporter Allison Ballard takes a look at Anne Bonny’s Bar & Grill. This local restaurant has a special place in my heart because my husband and I went there for lunch on our wedding day.
We were getting married at the River Room nearby and had been bringing in some flowers and our clothes that morning. We wanted something quick and easy for lunch, so we walked over to the nearest place.
My husband likes to joke that he could barely say his name at that point much less order lunch. The truth is that I think we were both a little anxious about making sure everything went as planned for the wedding later that day.
The casual lunch was just what we needed. Later that day, we got married on the outdoor deck and had our reception inside the River Room. And because Riverfest was the same weekend, we were treated to a spectacular fireworks show at the end of the evening.
