Newly reimagined, Seeds Market Cafe at Hancock Shaker Village (formerly Harvest Cafe), is a casual, creative and authentic twist on Shaker sustenance, and all sourced from local growers and purveyors. The menu carries the creative signature of Chef Brian Alberg, executive chef and vice president of culinary development at the Red Lion Inn and Main Street Hospitality Group. The one-page menu includes Shaker brown bread ($6), smoked trout rilletes ($13), grilled vegetable panzanella ($14), poached salmon with sweet corn salad ($17), a BLT with basil aioli ($13). The lamb patty ($10) arrives thick and juicy on top of a mountain of fingerling potatoes, a healthy pile of pre-dressed greens, all interspersed with bright, chunky, house-pickled veggies. The ham and cheese sandwish ($13) is thick with tavern ham and Berleberg cheese. Dessert has a Shaker feel — blueberry pie ($7), lemon curd & raspberries ($8), strawberry pound cake ($9), but there’s also SoCo ice cream ($3/scoop) and milkshakes ($8). Read the full review.
