Mason Jar Cafe

This was a wonderful find in a small town. The owner, who just took over a few months ago, was gregarious and happy to share her love of New York, food, life, and Scottish people (we were in town for the Highland Games) in a fabulously loud and boisterous way. She seated us outside, at our request, but came by frequently to check on us.

Now on to the really important part: The food. As one might expect, ordering scallops in the backwoods mountaintops of North Carolina is not always a good idea. In this case, it was. For $14.95, I received six large, tender scallops doused in butter, some of the best I have ever had. They came accompanied with rice, which tasted like...well, like plain white rice with salt. The veggies that came as a side left something to be desired (that something being freshness), but the meal was decidedly worth it, just for the scallops. My fiance got the Shepard's Pie, which he claimed was delightful (not that he is a great judge of food...this is a man who eats Lean Cuisines on a daily basis). Anyway, overall food and atmosphere were great, and I would highly recommend this place.

my family loves the mason jar. great atmoshere and an amazing bread pudding!
