Reservation made on line, prompt. Ambience low lighting, modern hip. Indoor and outdoor seating.
Server friendly and attentive.
Nice selection of mocktails. We tried the lavender lemon spritzer and the blackberry refresher. The blackberry refresher was way better tho both were very good.
Appetizer came out promptly. Pork Potstickers on a tamarind sauce. Light, clean tasting delicious.
Kids menu is actually really Awesome!! Flank steak, burgers, salmon, Mac n cheese, naan!
This is a great NICE family restaurant! We are here on vacation and this is a must hit for a good meal. It is on the higher priced end of food but, it's great service, ambience and farm to table food.
Be back with more.... Waiting for main courses ;)
Okay, the food came out as appetizers were done. The timing was good. The kids sliders were fabulous! Probably the best sliders for a kids menu I have ever tasted, keeping in mind I like clean food. The steak fries crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with NO heavy oils or grease. It was soo good, I ordered an extra side of fries for the entire table.
The applesauce tasted fresh but it was too sweet for us. I wondered if the chef added sugar to it? For us and that type of fare, I would not have added any or just a little. If there was no added sugar, I would have been very surprised. It was very sweet for apples.
The adult burger was delicious! Probably the best simple burger I have ever tasted. It was cooked perfectly medium as requested and lightly seasoned which did the beef justice because it's natural flavors were able to be tasted.
The side Mac and Cheese was a little disappointing. While it tasted like fresh quality ingredients, it tasted like it has no seasoning or salt. For an adult menu, it would have been better with some salt and pepper or even a seasoned bread crusted bread crumb topping. What was served was delicious but tasted like it was for a kids pallet or a bland palette. Less seasoning to taste the natural ingredients of each dish is great, but the Mac n cheese as a side needed a little pop to it for me. It was still delicious tho. I would order it again but added my own salt and freshly ground pepper.
The wild mushroom enchiladas were delicious!! The mushrooms were meaty, had depth of flavor and were overall great for a meatless enchilada :) The pickled cabbage crunchy, lightly tangy and the black beans and rice with avocado dressing speaks for itself. The star was definitely the mushrooms as it should have been.
The white rice was a little over cooked for me and a generous portion. By the end of this meal, what was left back was a handful of plain white rice. I would have done less rice and it needed to be cooked in a way that didn't yield it being sticky OR a add more side components ti eat with the left over rice. Overall, I would order it again.
Okay we were stuffed but, the food was soo good we had to try dessert. I really wanted the banana cream pie dish BUT, the key lime and peanut butter chocolate dishes won out at our table and it didn't disappoint.
All the desserts were rich and creamy. We, a family of four, split two. For me personally, as I don't do much sugar I would have wanted them all less sweet but I know I'm in the minority with that.
My family enjoyed it all. Not a drop was left back for the dessert. I was still left curious about the banana creme pie dish but, I was just too stuffed.
This is a family must for anyone passing thru :-)
I just read some of the poor reviews regarding the food and I think if you're used to eating an abundance of crap quality ingredients food, smothered in seasoning or grease for a cheap price, you will be disappointed. This did taste farm to table fresh. Smaller portions for a higher price but it's post pandemic people. Everything is more expensive. I found the dishes competitively priced for fresh ingredients and nice atmosphere.
Fresh doesn't mean bland but, you also don't want anything over seasoned to lose the taste of real ingredients.
My server was friendly and accommodating. Lancatser is a small town with a personal down to earth vibe. That's been reflected in all the places we have eaten.
