My friend and I who do lunch dates are starting to try new places that neither has been to. This was the first stop on our adventure.
When we arrived at this quaint and inviting establishment we were greeted with a smile and asked where we might like to sit. The outdoor seating looked nice but since it was the middle of summer we went to one of the indoor areas. We got the iced tea and the cheese plate to start. It was a small cheese plate but it was perfect for 2 people to share. The breads and cheeses were a great combination with the dried fruits and nuts. I know that jams and honey are sometimes a part of the cheese plate picture but this was a small light taster to start. The way we lunch is we both order an entree and then split it. Today We order the Signature Strawberry Chicken Salad and the California Club, minus the avocado stupid allergies. We informed the waitress that we would be splitting them so when they came out they were already split for us. The first bite of the salad with that poppyseed dressing was so amazing that we both almost forgot about the rest of the food on our plates. My salad was close to the potato salad so I accidentally got a taste and remember the rest of the food. The potato salad is hardy and rich without being to mustardy. It has bacon but it is not too overpowering and somehow still feels a little lite. They had forgotten to take the avocado off so they immediately took it back and remade the sandwich. I loved that you could tell that it was a new sandwich since some places take it back and try to scrape the avocado off when they forget. They never get it all and so the benadryl comes out but I had no reaction. The bread was this warm focaccia bread that I could have eaten all day. The turkey was fresh, not slimy, with crisp bacon. The meal ended up being too much for one sitting so we both had lunch for the next day. We ended with the Red Velvet cake which came out looking so cute and tasting divine. We have already talked about going back and refer people here quite frequently. It is a little pricey but so worth it.
