| - I really enjoyed lunch at the Lisa G Cafe. This is the cutest little restaurant; it looks like an old house complete with real wood floors, a fireplace and large windows, making it light and airy. The decor was minimalist, with a few family photos, maybe of Lisa's family? The place is tiny though, with maybe 10 tables and a small bar, there was also a nice outdoor seating area.
I had a great cranberry chicken salad. It was not what I expected, it was more two parts - a chicken salad and a fresh greens side salad with balsamic vinaigrette. D. ordered the bowl of balls. I think people order this just because they like saying 'bowl of balls' - people were ordering this dish like crazy - balls were all over the place. The dish was comprised of 3 large meatballs in a marinara sauce, served with focaccia bread and a slice of parmesan. The "balls" are made up with 3 different types of meats: pork, chicken and veal; I was surprised they used veal, it seems like an organic place. Both dishes were incredibly good and satisfying, but not too much for a workday lunch.
Sorry guys, but this seemed like a chick place, if I've ever seen one. At one point D. asked if he was the only guy in the place, and I couldn't help but laugh. I looked around and there were only 2 other guys and about 30 women! Not something I would have even noticed, but the guys definitely stuck out. I guess women really dig this place.
Service was attentive and friendly. I didn't try any of the wines, but the wine list looked decent. I'll definitely be back to sample some vino in the future.
