Editorial Review for Eastside Cafe – by Susan Kirr
In Short
It's elegant without being overly formal. The interior of this old house features several small rooms that hold a few tables each, giving the space a cozy and intimate ambience. Walls painted vanilla or slate-blue/gray make an unobtrusive backdrop for framed leaves and flowers. Nearby residents and workers enjoy the artichoke manicotti, featuring carrot, noodles, mozzarella and mushrooms in a tomato-cream sauce. Still, desserts like the pumpkin-gingerbread cake are the real standout.

While the food is really unique and delicious, I have had better for less money. Insert Buenos Aires Cafe here. The atmosphere is always lovely. It is super cozy and romantic. If you are lucky enough to have superb service, it can be a perfectly intimate, aphrodisiac kind of place (timing is important if you know what I mean). However, there have been times where the service was lacking - at least in relation to what I had experienced other times and in relation to what you would expect for the money. One of the things about EC is that their food is so, so fresh and much of it is made with herbs and vegetables they grow right there on site. EC as a whole is a rarity and a definite must.
