I have a history of raving about the food and owner at Essence.  I eat there at least a couple of times a week.  I could write weekly about what I've loved.  Today I had the wild Alaskan smoked salmon special.  The salmon is delicious, the fresh dill on the salad is such a perfect compliment as well as the potato cake.  Delicious! Only to be topped by a chocolate cherry turnover.  I've never had a chocolate turnover, nor seen one.  Wasn't sure I'd like it.  It was amazing.  The dough was so light, yet had a definite hint of brownie flavor and the cherry filling was so fresh and homemade, not too sweet, really just perfect.  What an amazing combination of flavors.  Eugenia, you totally out do yourself every single week!  Thank you for local, seasonal, healthy food.  Not sure what I'll do the two weeks you're gone!
