| - I have been hoping that this location would become a farm to table for a while - so happy someone finally did it!
Arrived around 430. We had our pick of seating outside. Everything appeared to be clean and tidy. The staff were very friendly but the greeting and seating situation was a little disorganized - too many people involved.
The menu was a little confusing in that you have to choose which sauce you want with your meat (also made me twitch a bit because it was reminiscent of the ordering at this location when it was meatballs on main -- rest assured, this was the only a remote similarity). I wish they had more descriptions about their dishes -- its hard to soak in a description from the server and really decide. We started with a gnocchi appetizer, eggplant/tomato/mozzarella appetizer and spring rolls. They were all quality. Would probably get spring rolls again. The eggplant had a pretty presentation, a bit heavy on the EVOO a bit of balsamic would have been nice.
We ordered two entrees, flounder and beef tenderloin medallions. The flounder had a good taste, slightly dry but didn't make the dish bad. The tenderloin had a fig sauce, it was robust but not too sweet. For sides, risotto and mashed potatoes, they were both good. I wasn't crazy how they served them in separate bowls from the entree (too many plates on the table).
For dessert, we ordered the bread pudding. It was flavorful and had a wonderfully fluffy, yet dense texture -- and not too sweet. We also ordered coffee and they were right on it -- wasn't a situation like, "it's early" or "we just opened last week and we aren't setup for that" or something --- it was seamless.
We were also happy to see a couple of our favorite farms on the list.
I am very tired of eating factory food when we go out to eat. It's great to have a fresh, laid back option when I don't feel like cooking!
Happy y'all are here :-) we will be back.
