Restaurant Details

This upscale food shop offers condiments, pasta, herbs, and the like along with a small assortment of reasonably priced wines and microbrews and a cooler of gourmet cheese and butter. Then there's the cafe, which features owner Lisa Santos's creative, seasonally changing takes on the standards: her grilled cheese, for instance, is Brie, spinach, and mushrooms on ciabatta served with "grown-up applesauce." Also on the menu (which includes tasting portions and suggested wine pairings): a cheese flight and other selections featuring Zingerman's cheeses, a salad with prosciutto, salami, and figs, and a burger piled with Nueske bacon, sour cream, cheese, and caramelized onions. For breakfast there are a range of omelets, plus French toast and pancakes and steak and eggs layered with tortilla chips and topped with salsa. The children's menu offers such mother-approved standbys as buttered noodles and PB&J with the crusts cut off, both with sides of applesauce and steamed veggies and served on ceramic TV trays.
