My friend tried Tuna special with mango and pomegrante reduction. * Steak - maybe Sirloin would have been better. It tasted really good, but the texture was a bit too chewy/ they did not ask me how I wanted my steak cooked. But it was not salty, flavor was really nice. * Salad - it was a bit off and on.. had too much lime taste and too many cucumber pieces. But very fresh, very nice flavor if not counting the lime. * Apple Pie - the best apple pie ever! Really nice dough (more like tart than pie), and fresh apple taste without much "goo" or much "sugary-ness" Tuna looked great, too. The only not-good item:their breads. They were soggy and not crunchy/ not tasty. Butter that came along with the breads were good ,though. Will definately visit again. I hear their Sunday brunch is really fabulous.

I like the fish and chips, the salad (with dried cherries and blueberries), the salmon, egg, and caper sandwich, and the curds you mention. I've been there twice and am hooked. Have you been to Usher's House? They have a wonderful tuna napolean (with Sriracha, sweet potato puree, seared pepper tuna, balsamic reduction, and fried wontons).
