Editorial Review for Arcadia Farms Cafe – by Brian Obermiller
In Short
A feminine cottage in Old Town featuring a lush shaded patio, fountain and two bungalows (one housing the kitchen). Lunching ladies and mature couples flock to this local favorite, especially in mild weather, for fresh salads, soups and sandwiches. Imaginative entree salads include the light and sweet strawberry chicken salad with organic field greens and vine-ripened tomatoes covered in zesty poppy seed vinaigrette. Sweet Key lime tart with coconut crust is a gourmet capper.

I went there with my best friend, we had a great eating experience. We ordered the TRIO OF BRUSCHETTA (smoked salmon, tomato-basil and mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula and goat cheese). The salmon tasted fresh, the prosciutto, aragula and gc were fine, our best was the tomato-basil that was supreme! We had WILD MUSHROOM, SPINACH AND GOAT CHEESE TART and CHICKEN, WILD MUSHROOM AND LEEK CREPES. We split order, so we both had a try of each. IMO the tart and the crepe had a similar flavor, but the tart had a stronger flavor becayse the goat cheese. I would suggest to order separately so flavors don't blend and you enjoy of the exquisite cuisine. We skipped dessert this time. Service was good, waitres was helpful and was there enough times checking up, was careful to be there just as we needed. Place was neat, very welcoming, good to spend a morning chatting with a pal. Try the back patio when weather is good - make sure you are away from the sun.
Pros: Oustanding service and ambience.
Cons: R e s t r o o m - I had to wait in the middle of a room to be available!

A LOVELY place for lunch, ice tea, dessert and chatting. Although the menu options are limited, it is well thought out and you should be able to find something to enjoy. The servers were friendly but it took too long to get our drinks and all subsequent orders in. Staffing issue? I also had my wedding rehersal dinner here...Beautiful! But the dinners fell a bit short. Stick with the lunches.
Pros: Beautiful setting, Menu choices
Cons: Service
