"Everything at Lavanda—the food, the decor and chef/owners Dino and Heidi Moon Basaric's quiet cordiality—radiate the gentility and civility of a life with no pressing appointments. The Prosciutto and Brie sandwich wedges blocks of brie between thin, crusty triangles of olive oil drizzled bread, draped like a summer scarf with the rich, salty ham. This will sate the man's hunger in style, no doubt. But it's the delightful garnish of vinegar-pickled cucumber, apple and onion that makes it so memorable. The pickle is only two or three miniature bites, but provides a flawless palate freshener for the oleaginous density of the brie and prosciutto. Clear that calendar; this small bite deserves your full attention."
