There are fireplaces, parquet floors, miniature flowering plants on the tables, Tiffany style chandeliers, original paintings on the walls and a big heated side patio. But what makes the difference is attitude, ambiance and good food. Many of owner Janet Dickson's staff have worked at The Cottage for ten or more years. They know the preferences of their customers and they make everyone feel welcome. Regulars have told me they think of The Cottage as an extension of their own kitchens.
Locals know they can count on The Cottage no matter what their budgets and preferences.
Examples might be roast pork tenderloin, cioppino or an Angus top sirloin steak. Naturally, a choice of homemade soup or salad is included. Then there is the nightly menu insert with gourmet seafood selections. The cuisine is American home-style. That covers everything from meatloaf or a very good hamburger to pasta, chicken, steaks and chops, prime rib and rack of lamb.
