How can a restaurant named after a witch be so divine?  In its 35th year, Baba Yega continues to entice and delight diners. Charm begins even before you taste your first bite.  A converted home, this place offers cozy rooms and compelling verandas, gardens, a koi pond, and a waterfall.  Baba Yega serves lunch and dinner seven days a week, and is an absolute Sunday brunch fantasy.

Vegetarians, behold! The Black Bean Burger, Vegetarian Meatloaf, and Sunshine Basil Sandwich are created in your image—and there are many more choices for contemplation. For others, the Smoked Turkey and Brie sandwich is extraordinarily popular. Folks rave about the club sandwich and Chicken & Basil Pasta Salad.  Good luck choosing between the fries and the potato salad; both are signature quality. The artichoke/spinach dip and the fresh fruit are marvelous touches. Enjoy your Sunday morning mimosas.
