Jefferys Bistro: Authentic and Updated Laramie Cuisine

After eating corporate roadside junk food for two weeks, I had to walk into an old downtown for a locally prepared meal. Jeffery's had been recommended by a bookstore clerk, and I wasn't disappointed. The atmosphere of red brick inside that looks out past a canopy to the historic downtown was quite pleasant. I had a full meal for about $20, which turned out to be a real culinary bargain. Three days later in Salinas, for example, my co-driver says to me, "Let's go to Outback. That's my favorite restaurant!" Outback Salinas by comparison was a rip off meal for $34-, and though the exuberent juvenile service was good, I won't visit that place for a long time to come. The Jeffery's chefs in contrast, prepare an eclectic menu of dishes with ample proportions, and then the full meal option includes soup or salad, a drink, and one of the freshly baked desserts. It was bitter cold outside so I choose to sip hot green tea and consume a cup of a gorgonzola and feta cheeze soup that was rich in fresh tomato flavors. I ate a pasta with chicken chunks and a light cream sauce that was described as being Hungarian, probably because of the garnish of freshly sliced red onions on top. For dessert, I chose the Jackson Walnut pie, which was sort of like a pecan pie with chocolate and walnuts. There is a fine list of wines and beers, and the main dinner and dessert menus are much more full that I can describe here. See the link below.
