Some weeks ago, I visited Chapel Hill, NC, and their venerable fancy food store, A Southern Season. I stayed long enough for dinner at their restaurant, The Weathervane.

I didn’t much care for where we were seated. The best room, I think, is the first one, with a view of the kitchen. The larger room further back was kind of lonely.

But that was made up by a great server. I forget her name, but she was chatty, friendly, and cool to talk with. Not someone who sticks around too long, but someone who takes their time, explains things, and gave a few recommendations.

The entrée I had was their veal-stuffed tortelloni with Italian sausage. It was good. And for their prices, I thought it was reasonably priced for the quality.

The store that night seemed a little desolate, and the restaurant was not packed, but they did have a fair number of patrons. I’d certainly recommend it on the account of what we had.
