Really, though, when I tally cost vs quality, I can't say it really felt out of line. I wouldn't need any arm-twisting to go back.

But the place has a vibe a bit different than that one would find at a farmers market or at a Paul's. It just seemed more fitting to run into the Norton Commons Ladies Tea Club (if there is one) sitting out back enjoying a Tuesday afternoon lunch. That's not necessarily a bad thing, just a bit off of my preferred vibe.

I absolutely agree with your general premise, it's just that it struck me as a similar-only-different well-off vibe. More Mockingbird Valley/Indian Hills/Glenview/Louisville Boat Club/River Valley Club vibe than Norton Commons. As I type, I realizze I'm thinking old money rather than new money.
James Natsis wrote:Ha, ha, Nortons Commons was the best I could come up with. The more accurate assessment that you propose---Hills/Glenville/Louisville Boat Club...... old money..... --- rings better. Your native Louisville savvy better reflects the ambiance than my insight as a transplant.

The best thing was the jarred unpasteurized sauerkraut, keeping those probiotic critters alive.
