Sophisticated, friendly and convenient are the words that come to mind after my visit to the Encore Cafe, operated by the Lamb's Players in Coronado. My mom and I wanted a little something before I started my booksigning across the street at Bay Books. For $10 Mom had a spicy hot chocoate, I had a latte and we shared a ginger plum crisp. It was a cold, misty night and we enjoyed chatting by the window while Norah Jones performed on the screens over the wine bar.

You can walk in for a light meal, or pre-order your meal so you can walk in during intermission and enjoy! I can't wait to come back again.
