| - Beautiful & Comforting!
As you walk inn, you notice how beautiful the location is. Hardwood floors, crown molding, vintage touches and lovely lamps. Round marble tables, with hardwood chairs that remind you a bit of Paris. All this for a bowl of soup. I'm happy already!
Service is impeccable! Shortly after walking in, you're being kindly greeted by friendly staff who walk you to a table. They explain the soups that are on their current menu(Which changes from time to time) and their sandwiches.
Now, let me take a few moments to decide which soup to order, do I want a grilled sandwich or not?
Within the soups, you have about six choices. Mostly vegetarians. Wait! Do not be turned off by that just yet. Come back and let me finish tempting you a bit more.
Every soup is made in house.. Served in two different sizes of bowls. (8oz 12oz 16oz) We decided to go for a small soup to have space for their grilled cheese.
My soup was a creamy, delicious and incredibly tasty corn chowder. Most chowders are made with a lot of cream and/or butter. Their version was packed with sweet corn, a dash of cinnamon, a handful of chunky vegetables on a chicken broth base. Finished with buttermilk to add that touch of creaminess without the heaviness of a typical chowder. Delicious!
Our second soup we've tried was a creamy carrot, orange, and squash with fresh ginger. Finished with a light drizzle of olive oil. The combination was perfect, and the added fresh ginger was the perfect touch of heat(Not spicy!) to warm you up on a cold, rainy day.
As for the sandwich. We had a grilled cheddar cheese, ham and caramelized onions. The bread was perfectly toasted, not at all greasy or soggy. The cheese was melting to perfection. The ham was a generous amount, finished with the perfect sweetness of the caramelized onions.
We'll be back sooner than later. Especially since our entire delicious meal that made us happy and full, at the cost of $10 per person! Worth every penny.
