Charming! You could use that word and nothing else to review this place. Charming location nestled between all the Frick buildings in the beautiful wooded Frick Park. Charming inside cafe with few tables and homey atmosphere. Charming sandwich? Okay, maybe we'll omit charming for that, but I'm charmed to say the least!
I came in literally on the tail end of brunch (what I was supposed to be coming for... that's what you get for being late!). You know what though? It's okay. A temporary setback considering my chicken and cranberry salad sandwich was amazing! It made me forget the delicious bite of french toast I had from my dining mate (seriously, next stop French Toast town!). On Chiabatta bread, it was the right amount of mayo, cranberries, chicken and walnuts. Gosh, it was incredible! Considering the sandwich was so good the pasta salad that came with it didn't hold a candle to it. Pretty bland and I left half eaten.
I ordered the chocolate mousse for dessert, considering the dessert case looked so inviting! It fell flat as well. Do you remember those ice creams that you got in the elementary school cafeteria that came between the cardboard? It kinda tasted like that. The only thing that made it was the cherries and sauce that adorned it. THAT made it! I wouldn't order it again though. I'll stick to carton ice cream!
Surprised I still gave it 4 stars? Me too! But it earned it with the setting, friendly service and dream inducing chicken sandwich! I cannot wait to come here for high tea! I can't imagine it's going to let me down, I honestly imagine it'll earn that fifth star! Onward my friends!
