I went first for lunch and their quinoa salad with chicken breast was impressive. It seems like every California style cafe these days has some kind of quinoa salad (if not then kale) and there are so many ways to go wrong - boring, bland, soggy, single note, dry (chicken breast), and Shakewell’s was perfect. It included hazelnut for toasty nuttiness, cubes of chicken breast, and every bite was interesting I could not stop eating it.
A few weeks later I went for fried chicken Tuesdays and it was also excellent. I would say their fried chicken is in the same league as Miss Ollie’s. The side of lentils had great spices, better than most Indian restaurants…
