Dragonfly Cafe, Stuart News Review (Cont.)
It was a chilly day and we started with a cup (read really big) of split pea soup ($3.95) and a small Tribeca salad ($7.95). The soup was thick, hearty and rich with chunks of ham and carrots — not too salty and a perfect consistency. The small salad was ample for two (as an appetizer) with organic greens, toasted walnuts and Gorgonzola cheese lightly dressed in lovely lemon-herb vinaigrette.

We followed with a small Thai peanut chicken salad ($8.95) and a bistro burger ($9.95) when we saw a few of those going to other tables. The salad was delicious, with beautiful slices of sesame-crusted chicken breast, Asian slaw, toasted almonds and a lovely citrus peanut sauce. The burger was a delight with white Vermont cheddar cheese served on a whole-wheat bun. The fries could have used two more minutes in the fryer, but otherwise the choice was perfect.

Dragonfly does an outstanding job with salads and wraps and their hummus is to die for. If you like exotic or spicy flavors, I also would recommend the Indian curried chicken salad as well as the Chipotle shrimp wrap.

We ate more than was necessary (who can resist?) and the two tall cappuccinos put more than a little zip-a-dee-do-dah into our day. Lunch for two, including Asian iced tea ($1.79) came to $47 with gratuity. We were so busy talking and enjoying the meal, we didn't even access the Internet or think about sweets — as if we needed more reason to go for another visit. Good food always brings me back and Dragonfly does its job well.
