Two Thumbs Up on Our First Visit to Wilde Roast Cafe
Monday, June 20, 2011 at 4:00AMThis past Thursday night we took a leisurely walk across the river to check out the newly relocated Wilde Roast Cafe at 65 Main Street SE. It was a gorgeous night and the place was hoppin' - inside and out.
;)
Having never dined at Picaso (the restaurant occupying this space prior to Wilde Roast Cafe) we had no idea what to expect inside. What a great space - it's roomy, yet intimate, with a decor that transitions from ice cream parlor/coffee shop to rich and warm dining. The multiple tiers of seating provide informal chat areas as well as more private dining sections. Great background music, too.

Our server, Joe, (above) was cool and collected despite how super busy it was. The Thai Chicken Wrap and Tuna Noodle Hotdish were both tasty:
Of course we couldn't leave without sampling the gelato. The night we visited, flavors ranged from standards such as chocolate and peach, to the more exotic olive oil and sea salt, garlic, and basil. We went with cherry and peanut butter - both were delish with a wonderful consistency. Flavors change daily, so we stopped back during the Stone Arch Art Festival and tried the Salted Caramel and Amaretto - both winners.
