Stepping into the refurbished old paper mill building with the original flooring and windows takes you back to a time when craftsmanship was appreciated. This restaurants unique way of recycling the old into something new while still maintaining the essence of the past is a custom which should be praised and replicated. It is quirky and slightly beatnik with its bohemian artist staff, spilled over from the local colleges, and it's rich diverse menu makes a customer ask for nothing less. The full bar has been redesigned and is stacked to the brim with cute mixed drink names that compliment the theme of the restaurant.
I fortunately tried the crab cakes and their cesar salad. Both had strong, crisp, fresh textures that complimented each other, as well as the surroundings. It was a light, refreshing mixture and did not over compensate each other. Each had its own signature flavors with the salad, nicely displayed in a elegant dressing with freshly grated Parmesan. The crab cake on the other hand was a mexican theme with black beans, warm yellow corn, avocado and a small side of salsa with tortilla crisps.
My partner had the chicken sandwich with mozzarella cheese, pesto mayonnaise and the seasoned french fries were delicious. As you can see by the photograph, it was a good presentation with an abundance of food that did not leave us wanting.
(4 stars- ****) Fresh food, American/ mixed design, full bar- good variety of wine.
