Another week of nice weather .... except for the pollen!
This weekend we have quite a few requests, *poof* ... done.
Friday night we'll start with one of my favorites,Tonkatsu, Japanese crisp pork loin cutlets with special sauce. From the Yucatan, Pollo Pibil, chicken hit with sour orange and spice, then steamed in banana leaf and our house dish of Salmon roasted with Pistachio Pesto crust.
Saturday night, "Dago Night" ~ all Italian.
Tortellini Bolognese, THE meat sauce from Bologna tossed with cheese tortellini. Also on the menu, fresh hand made Cannelloni with beef and spinach baked in fresh pomodoro sauce and a killer roasted garlic pork dish with pasta.
Sunday night runs the gamut with a savory Thai Seafood Curry Pasta with big flavor, Pork Loin Chops with garlic and rosemary crust finished with Honey Gremolata and finally, Rosemary Orange Glazed Chicken with our green onion potato pancakes.
Also, some fun desserts this weekend.
Want to congratulate Matt and Nora on the birth of their baby girl .... bet she's gonna like pork!
And to my Bud'ette Denise Miller ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!

* We are a small cafe and we highly recommend making a reservation.
We also offer a 5% cash discount to defray credit card processing fees. This helps keep cafe prices down*

We are an early cafe. That means alot of folks eat early.
If you are coming in later (7:00 or so) or just really want a certain dish, I might suggest you call and reserve your choice with your reservation ... as we DO run out of popular dishes early.
Just a helpful insider tip!

Our "Torte del Chocolate" . . . beyond decadent!
