I've had my eye on this place before it even opened and finally got the chance to check it out!
Inside is just BEAUTIFUL (see pics) An upscale but casual feel.
They also have a spacious patio area.
All the staff that I came in contact with were very friendly and informative.
I ordered an Ice Tea........it was good.
They served me hot crusty bread with these Fabulous Rosemary Cheese Crisps.......I asked for more they were so good!! ;-) (see pics)
The waitress told me I could modify any item on the menu if I needed to or special order anything I didn't see....
..that is a HUGE plus when a place is willing to go above and beyond to accommodate you and also means they obviously are preparing these items fresh if they can change any item. I definitely appreciate that.
I decided on ordering the Roasted Chicken and Butternut squash risotto, Lunch portion comes with salad. (see pics)
OMG.....SO Delicious and piping HOT, it had such amazing flavor depth, topped with crisp prosciutto and fresh basil chiffonade.
I was in heaven, I'm gonna dream about that dish for sure!
Now for dessert, they offer about ten different things in a mini teacup size...........WOW! That is so cool, you can try more than one thing without being a total pig or spending a fortune! LOVE IT!!
I decided on one of the many creme brulee' flavors, I got the brown sugar (see pics) Perfect size Perfect Flavor, truly!
I noticed on their website that they serve a Brunch menu on the weekends until 3pm. I'd like to try that as well.
