On a breezy Saturday afternoon there's nothing like sitting in the window of a cafe and watching people walk by. Sipping Illy coffee from a delicate cup and saucer just begs you to slow down and enjoy the afternoon. When they brought me the salmon special plated on a beautiful patterned square dish I was tickled... uh... pink. The salmon came with a pesto spread and a flirtatious drizzle of color. Garlic spinach and vegetable medley sides adorned the corners of the dish. The tastes blended nicely and much care went into planning and creating this fare.

I should have spent more time relaxing and people watching. There was no rush, I already had a parking ticket. $7 if you want to know. That bumped the price of my meal significantly, so take advantage of the parking garage less than a block away that gives you the first two hours free.
