I had a long overdue lunch with a friend from work who I haven't seen in way too long. Lisa and I went to Dilly Cafe and had a great time. Our server was friendly and helpful with the menu. We decided to stay light and have some salads. Their salad portions were very generous. Note to self: must go back for crab cakes.
Below you see Lisa's Chef salad minus dairy. There was a copious amount of ham and turkey with hard boiled egg. The lettuce was fresh and crisp. Nothing is worse than a soggy salad!
I ordered the seared Ahi tuna nicoise salad which was good. The picture indeed shows only 2 little slivers of Ahi tuna which was good. It might have changed the salad for the better if the tuna was warm instead of cold. But the flavor of the tuna was delicious with a sesame seed crust. Also in the salad was hard boiled egg, green bean, and chilled boiled red skinned potatoes and kalamata olives. The salad came with a shallot vinaigrette which was more vinegary than I expected and I can't say I could taste any shallots. Aside from that, it was delicious. Okay, maybe one more sliver of tuna would have been good.
I took the opportunity to peruse their wine store and made some purchases for home. I am becoming very fond of these restaurants with wine stores attached. Dovetailing interests.
