A new place to eat, and my friend Helen pushed me to go there after my eye appontment earlier in the day.
Pure and Proper is in the old Pure Oil Station across from Town Square's park.
Lots of touches from the original building, including the garage doors overhead.
Then I had to look up. It offers no explanation!
Down the sloping drive outside, we could see the two tables in a southern facing patio. Remember those stairs in the first lobby...they certainly have been added for the restaurant.
Food, I had squash and coconut soup, and a Belgium waffle. Helen had a Greek waffle open faced sandwich and hot tea.
It's a breakfast only till 11, then no more. I think I want to try some of the breakfast with waffle dishes sometime. Look on line to see their dinner menu.
It looks on the fancy side without being fancy dancy. At one time it would have been strange to see the cashier in a baseball hat and tee, but it seems normal now.
ReplyDeleteWe were treated very well by the staff, even when we dropped a glass on the concrete floor. Ouch!
Delete...look like a welcoming place.
ReplyDeleteIt does feel welcoming. We saw several people we knew, but weren't sure "where from." A small town does that on an off day (Tues I think) and off-tourist-season.
DeleteA marvelous conversion.
ReplyDeleteYes, they did a really good job!
DeleteThat newly converted restaurant looks lovely. They did a great job. I will probably have cataract surgery in the future, if I work up the courage to get it done. I'm looking forward to reading about your experience.
ReplyDeleteSure, you know me. I talk about everything (almost)!
DeleteSomeone had fun redesigning that gas station!
ReplyDeleteAnd it took a long time too!
DeleteThey did a wonderful job converting the gas station in to a restaurant. I like the design and look.
ReplyDeleteIt is really well done. People were eating outside today when I drove by...mid 60s in the shade, not my idea of comfort.
DeleteI love it! Stone and wood, best ever. And the menu sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely what makes it so lovely and charming.
DeleteWhat a well-done repurposing of the old building!!
ReplyDeleteWe have our Thai restaurant that's on the other end of the main strip of downtown shops, also in a repurposed old filling station. This one tried to out-do them, but I think they are about equal in most areas.
