The owner-chef really knows her stuff! This was up-town fare in a small tourist town and a real surprise. Well-worth a return trip or three from Atlanta.
The fresh spinach ravioli in pesto was absolutely the best I've ever had. I could taste everything individually, but it also all hung together with each flavor playing off the next. My wife's grilled shrimp was perfectly done--hot, but soft and tender. She also raved about the twice-baked potato and fresh, lightly cooked green beans.
The atmosphere is homey, small cafe and a block above the main fray of Blue Ridge away from the main tourist flow. If you want great food, quiet conversation with well-picked background music, and no pressure to eat and run, this is the place.
A perfect highlight to a day in the mountains or part of a weekend cabin get-away.
Pros: Well-crafted food, comfortable-rustic setting.
Cons: No wine license
