The Schoolhouse At Cannondale

TheSchoolhouse At Cannondale

 

Saturday night I had dinner at The Schoolhouse At Cannondale.  Dinner was well executed and excellent. The schoolhouse is very sweet and tastefully decorated. Owner, Tim LaBent, does such a good job of making customers feel welcome as well as cooking up a storm.  I was invited to come into the kitchen, take a look around and get introduced to the staff.  The kitchen was tiny, but hopping and everyone seemed to be in-tuned with cranking out dishes with love.  The Schoolhouse At Cannondale is such a class act the menu personally welcomes you with your name printed at the top.  Dinner consisted of  “Baby carrots, avocado, radish, grilled scallion, lime, cilantro and sesame seeds;” “Posh n’ beans, ricotta, watercress, pea greens, and wave hill toast;” “Lamb sausage with cavatelli, broccoli rabe and preserved tomatoes;” “Squab with lacindo kale, spring onions, oyster mushrooms;” and “Chocolate soufflé with chocolate sauce and vanilla bean ice cream!” 

I will definitely be making my way back to The Schoolhouse At Cannondale.  A great place to bring friends as well.
