Larrupin' Cafe

Yum. We started with the mushroom appetizer and the roasted garlic. Both were served with an inviting presentation. The roasted garlic was more notable, tender, rich, and fun to eat. The mushroom dish was tasty... and something came with a particularly yummy dipping sauce... but I can't remember what it was, lol. The appetizers were followed by the charcuterie board, which was a real treat...a highlight. They made the board gluten-free for me, giving it an extra touch of special. It felt a little like Christmas morning, tasting across the board with curiosity and delight at each unique flavor. There were dried figs, two soft cheeses, a pate, sliced apples, dressed cucumbers, and more... and I am not doing it justice with my description. It really was delightful. I ordered the lamb chops for my entree. Be prepared for orafactory heaven. They melt into the most delectable savory sweetness in your mouth. Hubbie had the brisket and rib combo. Both were tender and flavorful. We ended with dessert. Mine was the creme Carmel, which could only have been better if they had lit it at the table. It was creamy, with the light crispy cap, sweet enough to savor every bite but not so sweet that I couldn't finish it. The only con of our dinner was our server, who seemed rushed, practically running away as he finished speaking. More than once, I wasn't able to speak or ask him a question because he ran off. The atmosphere was cozy with wood and warm colors. That said, it was a bit chilly...I never took my coat off. A plus about our servers' lack of attention was that we didn't have a sense of being rushed. We took our time with our meal and were able to relax and enjoy our experience at our pace.

Had an excellent meal here. We had the filet, and the BBQ brisket, with the sweet potato and the twice baked potato, and all were delicious, and gluten free. I have Celiac disease and so it was great that our server (Josh) was knowledgeable about the menu, and able to make recommendations that I felt confident in. All in all, would absolutely recommend.
