This small, quiet, and informal one-room cafe (with a few outdoor tables) serves elegantly prepared food at very reasonable prices. There's an open kitchen along one side and oddly matched tables. Once you get a taste of what's on the menu (which changes every week), you'll be coming back for more. Take special note of the condiments, all of which -- from the ketchup to the salsa -- are homemade. The restaurant focuses on fresh, seasonal, and organic ingredients. Menu offerings include smoked chicken quesadilla with barbecue drizzle and a garden burger with smoked gouda cheese. For lunch there is also a salad du jour. You can be listed on an e-mail or fax list and the restaurant will send you a copy of its current menu. Microbrewed beers and hard ciders are available. The restaurant is a little difficult to find; travel south from the plaza, cross Lomas, and find San Pasquale.
