August 20, 2011 - Dinner at the Brown Barn Cafe

After our visit to Hillside Farms we went for dinner at the most appropriate place the Brown Barn Cafe.  It's a new (and tiny) place at "Ah! Some Chocolate" (get it?) on East Overbrook Road in Shavertown, PA that specializes in using only local and seasonal ingredients. 

The food was amazing and the service was great. Here are some pics from our dinner:

Since it's a BYO place, we brought a bottle of red wine along with Pretty Things Baby Tree Quadruple and Dogfish Head's Namaste a Belgium White Ale.

 Started off with a slush flavored with anise, mint, and orange zest.  Simple and refreshing.
 

For appetizers we had:
1. Peach salsa which had an incredibly well done balance between the sweet and spicy.
2. Fatuous that was deliciously dill flavored.
3. And a cheese plate with Stilton, smoked Gouda, and a triple creme Brie served with white and black cherries and flat bread.

 For the main course I had the Forbidden rice with peaches and a side of pickled daikon radishes. Deceptively filling.

 This was the beef stew. It came with all sorts of add ins to mix in to your desired heat and spice.

 Does that look like someone who is disappointed?

 Stacey had the Eggplant Lasagne with a side of corn and chili lime butter. It's amazing how fresh ingredients can make a meal.

 Lemon meringue cake was light and not too sweet.  A fantastic choice, but not for me...

...I had to try "The Elvis" - a piece of banana cake topped with peanut butter, mascarpone, chocolate, and banana ice cream! Decadence at it's finest.
