Stepping into the Myrtle Boutique, it’s hard to remember that it used to be a pro shop bac...

It has been quite a while since the announcement of a new restaurant coming to one of our cherished rural communities was met with such big expectations. Harlow's Cocktails, Bar and Restaurant seems poised to surpass them. At the very least, it would be fair to say there's nothing that compares to it within 30 miles, and the chances are good that the swank, but familiar restaurant won't stay hidden in Bonsall for long. Located at the former San Luis Rey Downs Golf Club,... Full story
