Walked in with very little idea what to expect. Which is, firstly, that you should have a reservation. The decor could be... overwhelming if it wasn't so well put together. The restaurant is also an antique store, so a lot, if not all, of the decor, isfor sale, along with another floor or two of antiques, which I did not visit. Back to the lack of reservation - the managersaid they could serve the two of us in half an hour, and we were welcome to view the garden in the meantime. The garden isgorgeous, with plenty of shade along the walkway, and outdoor seating and it was somehow cooler there than anywhere else onthis summer day. When it was time for us to order, it was a tough decision. Menu items range in price mostly from $16-30. Itwas more than I'd anticipated, but not unreasonable. I wanted to eat light, and got salmon and herbed cream cheese bruschetta,minus the bread, since I'm gluten free. My companion got a housemade chicken salad sandwich with a side of potato salad. Theportion sizes completely justified the price. I got 4 thin slices of salmon rolled up with cream cheese (the server said thekitchen had fun making that) on a bed of shredded romaine, topped with housemade (bread & butter style) pickles, picked redonion, sliced hard boiled egg, crumbled goat cheese, and capers. There was a slice of orange and of watermelon on the side. Thechicken salad was on thick toasted bread. It also came with fruit and pickles. We both decided the pickles were tasty, but toospicy. We considered dessert, but were already taking home half of our meals, so we declined. The options were lemon cake withmascarpone filling, flourless chocolate torte, or créme bruleé. Read more
Prior to this week, I last visited this restaurant several years ago. I had fond memories of the ambiance and setting, and it... was exactly the same. Quaint and quirky/artistic indoors and very cool garden/patio seating outdoors. I honestly appreciate theamount of effort required to maintain this place. Food options were diverse and ample. Service was nice, although predictableand almost humorous with chronic up-selling. I had a seafood special which was nice, probably the best scallops I?ve ever had?my daughter had a huge salad that was actually quite epic. Crab cakes were nice. One thing I really appreciated was the size ofthe Old Fashion my MIL ordered. It was easily twice the size of those at other similar priced restaurants we?ve visited lately.Others at dinner got chicken, and something else. I liked the personal feel to the restaurant. The server (who I swear was thesame one who served us years ago) had an actual investment into the place. Gave bit of interest/intimacy/personal flair that Ifeel is uncommon for casual upscalish dining. Most have an antiseptic/forced fake nicety, no? Anyway. They put a candle in acream brûlée for my daughter?s birthday which I thought was cool. The quality is unexpected ?for Independence? andappreciated. We will be back. Read more
