Really good Breakfast Experience

The breakfast at Plantation House was absolutely fantastic! I had the big breakfast option, which felt like a $40-50 dining experience. I truly enjoyed every bite, especially the scrambled eggs that were light and fluffy, perfectly seasoned with chives. It was a culinary delight that made my mornings extra special.
