No, not that kind.
This kind…
It was magical…
A hidden gem tucked away on the second floor of a nondescript building.
If a friend of mine hadn’t raved about it, I would have driven right by.
I started here with the Starbuck…
Which was pretty, pink and potent. Everything a girl wants in a drink.
I had 4. (They were small, don’t judge.)
The home baked rye bread was wonderful.
But my ravioli crisp appetizer? OMG… to die for! With sauteed shallots, garlic, toasted walnuts tossed with spinach, creme fraiche and lemon. Ooh La La!
The husband and my girlfriend had the mussels, sauteed with pancetta, plum tomatoes, garlic, basil, lemon and white wine. They didn’t last long.
The entree menu was small, but the husband chose the Marsala pear chicken…
While I had the special….sea scallops baked in a phylo bowl with some sort of heavenly citrus sauce. Light, flaky and utterly and fabulous.
Naturally we had dessert.
Lavender creme brulee for our friend, chocolate stout cake for me.
We rolled out of there with full bellies and empty wallets.
Smiling, and already anticipating our next visit.
Life is good.
River's world..... 
Wonderful write up. Glad you enjoyed your new find!

Apparently in the summer, you sit out on the deck and really feel like you’re in a tree. I can’t wait!

“The husband and my girlfriend” Well I guess (I think) that’s better than it being Fred’s girlfriend or is it!!!
The food looks good but the desserts could really have been bigger but then they figured after you had very (small LOL) drinks you body had enough sugar!!

This was the same friend whose husband just told her he was a woman. She was in severe need of alcoholic distraction!

LOL I sure would hope so. I don’t imagine that you’d have taken the time to create a blog post if it only looked scrumptious. 😉

It really was a unique place to eat.

Ha! As usual, I was checking the menu pics for decimal points (or lack thereof) and noticed that the numbers were all written by hand. Subject to change, perhaps?

Written in pencil, so yes… I would imagine so!

OMG! I had wondered if it was pencil but figured it couldn’t be. At least you had photos should they try to mark things up before the check came…

I was trying not to be obnoxious with the camera while people were eating, it was so much better in person. Twigs, branches, greenery and lights everywhere overhead. I loved it!
