..so it was a pleasant surprise to find that Cafe Juanita offered many selections that included organic and local ingredients. Although I ate there in the evening, it is my understanding that there is a small garden in the back of the restaurant that the chef will draw upon to spice up the dishes. That impresses me. You won't find that at just any restaurant. There were about 6 or 7 courses, and each had an Italian flare to it. The caesar is fabulous, and has a slightly salty anchovie dressing which I loved. The orecchiette pasta left a little to be desired, while my meditteranean sea bass had a beautiful spicy/salty flavor, with just the right amount of bite. It seemed to me that they were out of a few ingredients that evening, which prevented us from ordering a few dishes..but something about that speaks ""fresh"" to me. Definitely give it a try.
Pros: small intimate environment
Cons: pricey
