| - Upon entering the Cardinal Rule, my friend and I were greeted by a very lovely and friendly gal who seated us and also served us. We were the only customers so we didn't have to wait and of course we didn't feel rushed to order, which gave me time to check out the scene. The decor is unique with funky tables sandwiched between comfy booth seats.
After a quick breeze through the menu, I set my heart on the "Squish Squash Quesadilla." Funky name for a treat that's filled with marinated tofu, squash, goat cheese and candied pecans. Unfortunately, I found it a bit dry and lacking flavor, so it did fail to dazzle me. On the bright side, my friend ordered the veggie burger, which I managed to get a bite of and it was admittedly pretty darn tasty.
A lot of their options are vegan, vegetarian and also gluten free, so there seems to be a selection for all foodie types. I'd like to go back and try the brunch, which I hear is pretty stellar. I never give up after the first try, and perhaps the Cardinal will one day Rule my heart. Only time will tell...
