| - Brett Ottolenghi is a purveyor of fine foods to the best restaurants in town. It's such a treat to see what he's doing with these wonderful ingredients in his own cafe!
I've been to Artisinal Foods Cafe twice now. On our first visit, we started with the charcuterie tray; at $12, it's underpriced. $20+ would be reasonable for this dish. The cheeses were wonderful, and there were some nice little surprises - I don't want to spoil it for you.
Actually, I don't want to ruin any of it for you - my description would not adequately describe how good everything was. We tried nearly every dish, finishing off with some fantastic desserts. The Pots au Creme is to die for, and the French Toast defies description. My son is a chef, and this was his favorite, both in appearance and taste.
On our second visit, we had the prix fixe menu. There was some confusion over reservations, so the chef was still at a catering event. We seemed to be unexpected, and were rushed to make room for the next group - also us. It was awkward. But the food was outstanding, and I think everyone in the group agreed they would go back. I certainly will!
