I love discovering a restaurant that makes me want to tell everyone about it--and this one was a wonderful find.
This restaurant was recommended by a local resident, and what a great recommendation! The menu was extensive, but I settled on the chicken avocado: half an avocado filled with a generous scoop of chicken salad, a generous serving of fruit salad, and a corn muffin.
Everything was delicious, but the fruit salad was the surprise star.
I am not a fruit person, so I was completely unprepared to be this impressed by a fruit salad. The sauce was light, delicate, and absolutely delicious. I found myself trying to figure out what was in it while I was eating it! It had a lovely meringue-like quality without being heavy or creamy. Naturally, when I got home, I started looking up recipes to see if I could recreate it.
I won't be back in Lampasas anytime soon, but when I am, I know exactly where I'll be eating--and I'll definitely be ordering that fruit salad again!
The chicken salad was fresh, cool, and perfectly balanced, with a creamy, well-seasoned richness that paired beautifully with the crisp fruit. And the corn muffin had a warm, golden, fine, tender crumb with just the slightest buttery touch of sweetness.
A genuinely lovely meal. Sometimes a local recommendation turns out to be a little treasure. read more
