| - Delicious lunch food, great patio, with only a couple hang-ups. I ventured here on Sunday for brunch with my mom and Erin S. Good thing we made reservations because the place was bumpin. We were seated on the expansive back patio filled with many tables. There was a wedding luncheon in action as well as what looked like a bridal shower. The private dining area in the back appeared very well suited for such affairs.
I ordered the salmon salad, which came on a bed of all kinds of leafy goodness. The dressing was very tasty and the salmon was cooked so tender and flaky that a spoon could cut right through. Erin ordered the popular Strawberry Chicken Salad, with mixed baby greens, toasted almonds and poppyseed vinaigrette. All the ingredients were fresh, and often gluten free with vegan options. For dessert we had the Seasonal Fresh Fruit Crisp, which was ok - think "apple crisp." Now, the Tuxedo Cake was exquisite. The breading was moist and meshed with the adjoining caramel and frosting. I highly recommend it.
The only downsides were that we never received our appetizer, and our waitress disappeared after we acquired our entrees. We hoped to order dessert and were curious about our missing plate. After hailing down another waiter, we realized that ours was occupied by the large wedding party. No big deal, we were enjoying our experience, but it would have been nice to get a heads-up!
Final remarks: Make reservations. The food is fresh and flavorful; the dessert being an obvious highlight. Expect a bit of a wait on a Sunday afternoon.
