This was a bit more than I had expected, but still reasonable. Wanting something light, I opted for the salmon and herbed cream cheese bruschetta, minus the bread due to my gluten intolerance. My companion ordered a house-made chicken salad sandwich with a side of potato salad. The portion sizes justified the prices completely. My dish featured four thinly rolled slices of salmon with cream cheese, served over shredded romaine, topped with house-made pickles, pickled red onion, sliced hard-boiled egg, crumbled goat cheese, and capers. It was accompanied by a slice of orange and watermelon. The chicken salad came on thick, toasted bread, also served with fruit and pickles. We both enjoyed the pickles, though we agreed they were a bit too spicy. We considered dessert, but since we were already taking half our meals home, we decided to pass. Dessert options included lemon cake with mascarpone filling, flourless chocolate torte, or crème brûlée.

We dressed up and enjoyed a tea party in the garden, which is stunningly beautiful! There was even a lady there to take pictures for us. It’s a perfect spot for lunch, and I hear that reservations are required, adding to the elegant atmosphere. Inside, there's a shop with a variety of eclectic items.
