Driving down the quiet streets in an area that was more residential than commercial, I wondered if I were even in the correct place. But on I went, following the GPS' directions.
After parking on the street, we walked down the tree-lined streets on a warm and sunny afternoon that locals quickly told us is unusual for October. We found the restuarant we were there for - St. Jack's - is only open for dinner.
Now what?
Across the street, in a green-built structure I saw an airy restaurant. The windowed restaurant opened up to a back patio through a large commercial garage door. The high-ceiling restaurant radiated its focus of serving local, organic, seasonal, whole grain ingredients in its simple decore of white walls, airiness, and simple plants.
Going out to eat is usually difficult for me, because I want to treat myself, but still eat healthy and most restaurants don't make the choice I do in whole wheat or whole grains over white bread.
I chose an Unburger (which is made with sausage instead of hamburger with a spicy, chipotle-style sauce) that came with a green salad and a sweet tomato vinegar dressing. My daugher chose pancakes. Her pancakes came with strawberry jam and her own little glass jar of syrup.
The bathroom has natural light coming in, so we didn't even have to turn on the lights.
My daughter's favorite part was the stool that allowed her to wash her hands on her own.
