Let me cut to the chase. Same owners of rose creamery. So same ice cream on their dessert menu...but get this, they don't have the machine that churns it so its hand churned. Creamier than gelato. And, dare I say, better?! The honeycomb flavor ice cream is reason enough to occupy a spot at this farm to table restaurant.
Alright, back to the beginning to get out the rest of this review.
Atmosphere is cute. It's fine. Dark and rustic with a few booths lining the walls and the rest closely placed four top tables.
Staff is passionate and knowledgable. Everyone we encountered gave us their full attention and offered excellent recommendations.
Ok, Food.
Lavender Almonds: too sweet but had a nice flavor and crunch
Marinated olives: lovely sweet and garlicky flavor
Beet salad: The avocado honestly melted in my mouth. I don't know what kind of crunchy magic they sprinkled into the quinoa, but dear God is this salad perfect.
Pazole Verde: the only thing on the menu that is always on the menu. And I completely understand why. The best way I can describe it is a salty Mexican tortilla soup with mussels. Which doesn't make it sound nearly as delightful as it is. This is a small bowl of brothy soup that packs so much flavor into each bite.
Cacio e Pepe ricotta dumplings: underwhelming and not worth the calories. The dish was a half dozen or so pillows of ricotta and yeast with a light pepper and maybe butter sauce and a few beans.
Brioche salted caramel bread pudding with strawberries: what do you think? Obviously delicious. The brioche was grilled to perfection and the flavor was sinfully delicious.
