This small cheese shop has blossomed into a restaurant chain with real appeal. From Del Ray to Shirlington, Ballston and now Mosaic, these restaurants have grown far past their cheese board beginning to honest-to-goodness restaurants. The food leaves you feeling well-fed without feeling overfull or like you have blown your diet. The salads are "okay" (my last experience involved a pear which wasn't particularly ripe and walnuts which tasted burnt) but the soup, grow-up mac and cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches are terrific and worth repeat trips to try them all. The cheese boards, which they began with, are not to be dismissed, with multiple and interesting "sides" which deeply enrich the cheese selections. From a veggie standpoint, there have been challenges when they have special menus -- for restaurant week, National Mac and Cheese Day, etc. where veggie alternatives are not always offered. That being said I like this place a lot and visit often, if only for their fresh-cut cheeses. I prefer the Shirlington location. The last visit to Del Ray left me with concern as one of the cheese displays had clear mold growing, but Del Ray has the most offerings, so try them all.
