Sip and Savor

I have wanted to go into this historic home since I moved to Plano in 1980.  It is in the Well's Farmstead land that used to be one of the four original ranches/farms that used to be Plano before the building boom.

Now, onto the food.  We had some appetizers and a piece of pie to share.  The pie was fantastic - absolutely the best coconut cream pie I have ever had!

I can't wait to come back for dinner.

A friend and I came here for lunch to catch up and really could not have hoped for a better scene. It's a house. You eat, (pause for effect) in a house. The environment is designed just so your insides are warmed but not creepified in a "whose house am I sitting in? kind of way. With great service, we learned that customers have been savoring their sips for going on TWO YEARS. I had no idea this place was here but am so glad to find it.

Shut up and tell me about the food.

Lunch menu was small, but enough to cover necessary ground. The chicken Caesar salad was lightly dressed in home-made dressing in which, yes there was anchovy. My friend had the Chicken salad...salad, which was unlike any chicken salad that has before touched my lips. Loaded in flavor but happily lacking in mayonnaise (even the word is gross) flavors of balsamic vinegar and tarragon fill your palate making your taste buds feel they just expanded into another realm. And that's not even including the Coconut cream pie..

Home made. Smooth. Sweet (NOT TOO SWEET). and just delicious. Each bite was like meditating...with your mouth.

I'm confused as to what kind of restaurant this is supposed to be. Is it just a place for wine and cheese or something more? The wine is definitely great and so is the cheese but I would advise on looking at the bottle prices because 15$ a glass for 2-3 people can get you a bottle easy instead. Now on to the decor and the seating area. The place was not close to being full yet we were sat in the corner of the second room next to some closets which just seemed to attract fruit flies! One even fell in our wine glass! The decor looks like it should be a southern style dinner but the menu disagrees completely. Then the attire of the wait staff did not match the style of the menu. Casual T-shirts and leggings should not be a servers attire especially when most patrons are dressed nicely. Also closing at 9 pm? That's not exactly early, but much earlier than restaurants in the vicinity and we felt the push to pay and leave. In conclusion, great wine and cheese and that's about it.
