Nancy G's Cafe

My dear friend Jenn and I have been trying to find places to meet for dinner where we can let our dogs tag along. Typically we end up at my house on the patio, but resourceful Jenn located a great little neighborhood restaurant with a very dog-friendly patio. We have only been twice - once with dogs on the patio and once without on a rainy Tuesday at the bar. Both times the food was good, Tuesdays the bottles of wine are half price, and the service was friendly. I love to support any local non-chain restaurant that cares about ingredients, customers and has good special offers - this one definately does.

The  menu is eclectic southern - both times we have split the burger but the Greek salad was great (and huge) and the fried green tomatos were not bad. We plan to visit again and try more of the menu and the brunch looks great. My friend Jan is hosting a charity fundraiser there tonight, and they have live music and a small private event space. Moreover, the dining room has such a cozy, comfortable vibe it's like being in someone's home - and with 5 years under their belt it looks like it may be home for many neighborhood regulars for years to come.
