Lovely venue : their food and conversation always pair well. Thank you for hosting beautifully.
Beautiful setting for my table was surrounded by shelves of books. If you know me, you know I'm an avid reader and there were so many books that I recognized. The services was pleasant and the food came out pretty fast, which was good. I had the Lobster Gazpacho which was very good. Not very thick but very tasty. Made out of hierloom tomato, cucumber, fennel and lobster. Had some nice small pieces of lobster at the bottom. For my entree I had the Jumbo Shrimp and Applewood Smoked Bacon. Nice hefty portion. Shrimps were as jumbo as advertised. It was made as a stir fry of ancient grains, broccoli, red peppers, rosemary and lemon zest with shrimp and bacon. This was pretty delicious. Overall this was a great meal. There was an automatic 18% service charge which is totally deserved.
Farm to Table Monday night dining. Generous portions. We got to take home what was left on the platter. Very nice company. Explanation of where the food comes from. New ideas for recipes.
Beautiful piece of architecture. I only wish the store would have been open. Nice find
The atmosphere is so unique. The cafe is in a loft area where you are surrounded by books. I was not expecting such great food from a book store cafe. The chicken sandwich and burger were juicy and fresh. They also have a very nice full bar that I can imagine would be a delight to visit with friends in the evening. I recommend this cafe for lunch especially for book worms. :)
