Looking for a date-night dinner? Look no further!
For good French-style cuisine, Carlisle's best value is California Cafe. They serve lunch and dinner and offer a wide variety of chicken, beef, fish and vegetarian entrees. I especially like the Poullet en miel (Chicken in honey). Each meal comes with your choice of soup or quiche or pate, salad & a french roll, and dessert! I love the quiche of the day (any kind!), and I always get the house dressing. It is a tangy Chinese vinegrette that is soooo good that I had to ask for the recipe! The rolls are delicious too -- dense, yeasty and freshly baked. For dessert, try the Grand Marnier Mousse (or anything chocolate) for a sure-fire winner! The setting is a bit stark, but the owners are in the process of adding a piano bar upstairs for weeknight entertainment.
