Hot Humid Happy 4th of July Weekend at Cafe Drake HRV
 |
| May no guest ever arrive at Cafe Drake HRV without the Sweet Greeting of Cuttings from the Garden. |
 |
| Because that's how macaroni salad rolls at Cafe Drake HRV - plenty of mayo, cornichons, capers, red onions and snipped tarragon from the herb garden. |
 |
| A starter course of Andalusian gazpacho. |
 |
| Icy gazpacho was followed by beaten Brahmin rice pilaf with wild roasted salmon, mint and chile relish, banana raita, and mizuna salad. Dessert? Hazelnut ice cream with cinnamon prune cake. |
