This is a great little cafe in a terrible location, but I hope for the best as businesses try to resurrect this area. I hope it sticks.
The cafe was cute and comfortable. A small bar area seats about 8-10. A back patio is great if you happen to be out with your pooch and want to stop in.
For a late dinner, we were presented with a dinner menu that had about 5-8 choices for the day. Everything on the menu sounded good. Snooty food....my kind of food. A dinner salad preceded our meal that was mixed greens with a raspberry vinaigrette with shaved Parmesan. Not bad. Not much to it, but not bad. For my entree, I ordered the portabella mushroom stuffed with corn risotto surrounded with red beet and cabbage slaw. Sounds amazing, right? It was bland. Could have been a fabulous meal, but it was definitely lacking something. My mom ordered the black bean zucchini burrito. It looked beautiful, but again, the taste was lacking.
I give them an A for effort. The cafe is great and the menu presentation is awesome. The food just needs some more flavor.
We need more places like this in the area. I really hope they stick around.
