The Spice Company has just opened its outdoor seating area in the courtyard in front of the Inn at the Colonnade. Outdoor seating is supposed to be available every day for lunch and dinner with a full menu; but when it was exceptionally hot and humid this week, I passed by a couple of times and the courtyard wasn't open.

It's supposed to be gorgeous weather tomorrow, and I'm going to assume you'll be able to eat there for Sunday brunch. (It's too early for me to call and check.) Brunch is a fixed price ($19.95), and features carving stations, omelets and other egg dishes, seafood, Belgian waffles, breakfast meats, pastries and "endless" mimosas and bloody marys.
