Growing up in Springfield, Ohio, there were not many fancy restaurants in town.  I was so excited to return for a visit and meet a longtime friend, Lauren, at Cecil and Lime Café on East Cecil Street. Located in the Northern Heights neighborhood, they offered steak, seafood and upscale salads.

It was a beautiful day and I happened to arrive early.  I thought it would be great to order a bottle of wine for dinner and found a great Zinfandel, the Truant.  I had just poured a glass of wine when Lauren walked through the door.   It wasn’t long until we were catching up and laughing about some of the fun times we had on a recent trip we had just taken.  Looking over the photos, it was so much fun to reminisce.

Looking over the menu, there were so many amazing options that we could have ordered.  I was drawn to the three options for Risotto, but was also salivating over the Candied Jalapenos.  There were so many great meals and I was finding it difficult to choose.  After another glass of wine, I finally made my choice.

When my Candied Jalapenos arrived, I could smell the heat.  I was so excited to dig into this amazing appetizer and I wished I could have ordered a larger portion; it was absolutely delicious.

Passing on dessert, I was already thinking about my next visit.  I was really impressed with the service, space to look over our vacation photos, and of course, the amazing food.  What should I order the next time?
