If you want a casual atmosphere that features delicious food to stuff your belly then Sobre Masa is where you should go. I love their salsas and the guacomole was some of the best I have ever had, The pork shank was delicious, juicy, tender. As well as the chicken polenta. The service was very attentive and the food came out quickly. Overall, I have already told friends about it and I will be going back.

About the restaurant

Polo and Stephanie opened Meadowsweet together in 2014 and they see it as an extension of their home. They both enjoy good food, friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere to dine in and that is exactly what they want their guests to experience when visiting Meadowsweet. When they are not at Meadowsweet you will find them upstate at Meadowsweet Farm with their daughter and son where they grow some amazing vegetables with Polo’s Dad to serve at Meadowsweet. They look forward to seeing you at Meadowsweet soon!
