Day 303: Taylor's Kitchen

Taylor's Kitchen is right next to Taylor's Market on Freeport Boulevard near Land Park:

When we went to dinner with B&B on Saturday evening, we had early reservations right when the restaurant opened at 5pm. That time-frame ended up working out quite nicely, as we didn't feel at all rushed, and then Mr. E and I could still get to Lenscrafters afterwards to pick up my new sunglasses (the old ones were a casualty of the Sacramento Harvest event last week!).

I had the cheese plate and a roasted beet salad. Mr. E ordered the foie gras appetizer special and the pork chop. We both enjoyed our meals and would likely be amenable for a return visit, but neither of us was completely overwhelmed by the experience or service or value.

For example, I thought it rather odd that the cheese plate didn't have any sort of cracker or crostini as an accompaniment -- just a blueberry compote, marcona almonds, and fresh honeycomb. All of those items are very tasty, of course, but I was extremely thankful for the yummy Acme epi bread that is served to every table, or I wouldn't have had anything on which to enjoy my cheese!

The interior is quite attractive, with lovely exposed brick:

However, it did get a bit loud once the other tables were filled, so I was glad that we had a table in the front corner, as that little area was a bit more protected from the noise (not to mention the customer and server traffic).
