Besides, Lex Menz at Imenz@ westerncarolinian.com.] The Soul Infusion Tea House & Bistro is the kind of place you expect to be hidden. Its that res- taurant every town has that only the locals know about, off the back roads and through someones yard. The kind of place you'd never find unless you knew just where to look. All the locals know its got some of the best food in town, a staff that knows your name or is quick to learn it, and the best local brews, Luck- ily for us here in Sylva, Soul Infusion is right on E Main St., though youd never know it to look at it. Though the little yel- low house seems a bit out of place on the main thoroughfare, it is far enough removed and landscaped so beauti- fully that, as you are it gives you time to re- ally enjoy your tea or your beer, have some quality time with those you came in with or strike up a conversation with waiters/tea mak- ers Martin or Courtney behind the counter, both of whom are great to talk to and models of customer service. So far, Ive hada chance to try their wasabi roast beef sand- wich and a southwest- ern burrito special, and Ive thoroughly enjoyed both. Its hard to say anything more about really good food other than that it was... really good. From the flavors to the presentation of the dish, the small restaurant packs a big punch of deliciousness and local vibe. I can say that if I could just buy a jar of the wasabi horse- radish mayo that they walking in through their put on that sandwich, pet-friendly outdoor backyard-esque seat- ing, you forget the noise of the road behind you as you are surrounded Id use it on everything at home. On top of the comfort- able atmosphere, great service and amazing with an atmosphere both food, owners Milner extremely casual and welcoming. The whole feel of the interior is one of relaxed nonchalance, with tables in no specific order, unique art objects adorning the walls and a hand-painted counter and Tori Walters have set out to make Soul In- fusion as farm-fresh as possible and are close to being entirely farm- to-table. Their commit- ment to the local atmo- sphere doesnt end with their food, however; top where you place your they also host live local order. The folks taking your order (and mak- ing your tea, should you want to sample some of their ridiculously large assortment of them) are incredibly friendly, tiness and welcoming demeanor allow locals to enjoy a hang-out spot and tourists to feel right at home. Their menu, which boasts an extensive variety of wraps, sand- wiches and burritos, also presents a plethora of vegan and vegetarian options, providing a lot of tasty choices for any diet. As an added bonus, nothing on the menu exceeds $10, which is saying something with the high quality of the food they make. Be sure to check out their Wall of Teas, located around music Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and offer a wide variety of local brews, and well as micro-brews from the surrounding areas. Soul Infusion is a "place'were Tucky to have here in Sylva, one that Im sad to say Id driven past without even noticing far too many times. My sugges- tion is that you dont do the same. Stop in, say hi to the wonderful folks there, have a great meal and make this great little restaurant one of your favorite lo- cal hot spots.
