This small, cozy, avant-garde restaurant does well for itself in menu choices, with a nice mix of roll-up sandwiches, salads and soups.

During my many visits, I would whole-heartedly recommend the southwest salad, containing a mix of fresh salad veggies and chicken, with a smattering of fruit. The tangy southwest style dressing is delicious and, in my opinion, makes the salad one of my favorites.

One of their vegetarian choices, the veggie Reuben, is wonderfully refreshing and filling. Even we omnivores will enjoy it as a change of pace. If you are a vegetarian, Eaton Gogh serves a nice selection of roll-ups and salads that will certainly add an element of excitement to your dining.

Need I mention their she crab soup? Yes! I will mention it as a must if you go to Eaton Gogh. One of my best lunches there was a bowl of she crab soup and the southwestern salad. Very filling, and very delicious.

Eaton Gogh has a selection of beer and wine, if you choose to imbibe with your meal, although I can never resist the free-refill raspberry iced tea.

Roll-up sandwiches are generously filled with your choice of roast beef, chicken, turkey, with various additions such as onions, peppers, sprouts, tomatoes, and delicious sandwich spreads. They are indeed filling. Don’t make the error I once made of ordering a roll-up with a southwest salad unless you are absolutely famished.

A nice selection of deserts, cheesecakes, chocolate cakes and pies are also, I’m told, very good. Usually, there is no room left for desert when I eat there, so I have to give you the word of others on that.

Recently, Eaton Gogh has gone the route of so many other restaurants by offering a Sunday brunch. The brunch is okay, but certainly not as wonderful as their regular menu. Try the brunch once in a while for a pleasant change, but definitely visit for lunch or dinner.

Another recent and welcome addition top Eaton Gogh is a carry out service area just outside and around the corner from the dining area. All your favorite menu items are prepared for take out and that allows you to enjoy the fine dining experience of Eaton Gogh dishes in your own home. That is a great idea for stopping on the way home to pick up a few delicious items for dinner in your own dining room.

Associated with Eaton Gogh is the Palettes Catering Company, serving the same fine cuisine for your special events, whether they be business or personal.

All in all, I highly recommend Eaton Gogh for a fine lunch or dinner, and a fine place to have a pleasant meal with family and friends.
