| - I will return to this place for sure, but there were a few "cons" to our first visit. We really enjoyed the look of the place; it's a bit like you're eating in someone's very posh mountain cabin. There are some gas fire places, two bars, and plenty of outdoor seating as well. The servers' uniforms of jeans and tshirts sort of clashed with the aesthetic, but it is nice to see comfortable employees.
I tried the elderflower seasonal cocktail and loved it: sort of a toned-down floral lemoncello. I also enjoyed the house salad (mixed greens with tomatoes, roasted red peppers, feta and oil) and the crabcakes were scrumptious (as was the aioli; love the hint of lemon!). If there was filler in there, I couldn't detect any! My partner, however, was disappointed that his burger came out much more well done than he had ordered. We both agreed the side of fries were almost inedibly salty.
I ordered a lemon tart to-go, and when I opened the bag later, delightedly discovered a sort of assemble-your-own they'd put together so that the tart wouldn't get soggy. It included the tart, four little sauce cups (two with delicious lemon curd, one with minted blueberry, and one with pureed strawberry), four blueberries, and chips of sugared crust for garnish. I felt like I was playing with an easy-bake oven again (this is a plus in my book), and it was delicious!
