MILL TOWN INN
(906) 246-3999; milltowninn.com
Foster City's finest house is an ample place, built in 1900 for the boss of the Morgan Lumber Company. When its longtime owners moved away, they wanted Anita Mattson to have it. She was ready for a more upbeat occupation, she loves to decorate, and she felt the area needed a social center. The result is this cheerful, tastefully homey little café. Highlights are Swedish pancakes for breakfast, home fries made from potatoes grown down the road, excellent soups, and homemade cheesecake, muffins and pies. Hearty breakfasts include 3-egg omelets with home fries and toast. Lunch sandwiches are served with choice of a side or soup. This place is about inclusiveness and a down-home atmosphere. "Loggers with dirty boots needn't apologize," says Anita. "We just sweep it out the door." Photos of Foster City scenes and people cover the walls: grade school class photos, logging photos, and an interesting panoramic photo of Foster City at its apex. Ask about what's left. Don't expect low-cal, low-fat food. Peaceful recorded music makes for a relaxing mood. Now no-smoking. March, 2008
