This Twilight Café re-incarnation will offer breakfast and lunch during season and a year-round dinner menu with plenty of familiar favorites (including the world famous broccoli) and tasty new creations. Patrons can start their day with biscuits and gravy or a savory omelet, tucked into a delicious soup and large salad for lunch; and for dinner, choose from a large entrée selection ranging from pan-seared duck breast and beef medallions to Asian pineapple stir-fry and grilled grouper.

- Thursday, October 23rd
- Friday, October 24th
