Warning - if it's 40 degrees outside, I'd suggest you not eat here because the Air conditioning could potentially be broken... which it was for our situation, so I'll only comment on the food!
For Summerlicious this year, my bestest and I decided to try CH. For $35 - the menu looked delicious and totally worth it..... and it fact it really was.
Aside from the fact that we were pretty much sweating throughout our entire meal and needing to refresh ourselves with cold water every few minutes, I was extremely impressed with the food.
Fir appies - I had the salad with pear, endive, pecans and honey vinegrette.... it was nicely dressed, although I wish there were more pears in the salad. However the notes were very well balanced so I was quite pleased after the first course.
For the main - i really wanted to order the cornish hen because I had heard it was one of their signature items... but it was just TOO hot and I could not imaging eating something gamet in the heat.... so at last minute, I jumped off the meat wagon and decided to go with the salmon that came with a nicoise style salad. Afraid that my fish would be over cooked, i asked for it to be done a little under and I was extremely impressed with how it was spot on. I love nicoise salad, and really liked how these vegetables were composed - the beans were crunchy but not raw, there wasn't an overload of olives, and potatoes on the side was great. The egg just completed the "nicoise" dish, although I don't think it was necessary. I'm not a fan of the garlic lemon cream, so it just took it off.
For dessert - I noticed that their original menu (from the website) had changed, and so went with the new Trifle with Strawberries and vanilla custard. I have never tried trifle before and was really looking forward to it. It definitely did not disappoint - good amounts of custard and cake, and the strawberries were super fresh. It was a lovely way to end the night.
Our waiter was personable and pretty attentive, despite how busy the restaurant was. Not sure I would come here on a regular basis because it is a bit out of the way but I would recommend this to anyone who wants to go out for a special meal!
