Other breakfast choices include both a lumberjack and a "lumberjacques" special — pancakes and French toast, respectively. The above salmon is also available on a sourdough bagel with cream cheese ($10.99).
The sandwiches we ordered to go included my favorite: the Virginia ham and brie panino ($7.99), containing those items plus caramelized sweet onions, on a baguette. Mmm. My future lunch partner had the grilled Tuscan panino ($9.99). She got lots of mozzarella on the ciabatta bread, which had pesto slathered on both halves, and she wasn't charged extra for the grilled chicken (normally $2) because she didn't want the prosciutto. The clam chowder ($4.25) was dreamy creamy later, even reheated.
Our visit ended on a sad note. No gelato. Steve said he was waiting for warmer weather before making some. Oh, well. That just means we'll have to come back sooner than usual. I can look forward to the Grand Marnier French toast.
