Artisan Cheese Gallery

I love cheese! All types, all kinds, on anything and everything! Cheese. Cheese. Cheese. So when a lunch date was in need, Artisan Cheese Gallery was the place. Looking through the plate glass windows of this charming, airy gourmet cheese store and sandwich shop you see the dozens of cheeses that grace the butcher block counter. Rarer goat, sheep and cow products ranging from Europe to Tasmania, and exclusives from small American Farms are just a few of the highlights.

Artisan Cheese Gallery seems to live by the philosophy of having a simple menu and letting superb ingredients be the highlight of the dishes - which is of course CHEESE! Everything is served on wood, which is simply the perfect way to serve cheese! From salads to sandwiches this place was amazing. The Bistro Salad is packed with Italian tuna, cooked red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, sliced artichokes, and crispy cheddar flakes! Yum!

I chose the Italian Bruschetta Panini. Yep. Yum. Stacked with finocchoina salami and bruschetta, provolone cheese and romaine lettuce. The bread - olive batard! So simple. So delicious! With a glass of Pinot Noir, nothing is better on a sunny afternoon!
It would be a shame not to sample some of their cheese inventory, and they have a Classic Grilled Cheese that lets you do just that. The ingredients are fresh. The cheese simply amazing. And the bread ties everything together. This place is a must stop!
