The Gifted Kitchen - Longview

Traveling through Longview and needed lunch. We walked into one loud place and walked right out. We didn't think we'd feel any more at home at the restaurants that popped up on Google Maps. So, we were very, very grateful to The Gifted Kitchen?right offCowlitz Way. The very kind ladies at The Gifted Kitchen understand some travelers need a meal as good as what we'd make forourselves at home. And, we don't need noise. We enjoyed the tasty minestrone with garlic mashed potatoes and a deliciouspeanut-buttery pastry. Other offerings also looked very appetizing. They know what we need. It's the only place we'd go to inLongview. The person who found their food flavorless may perhaps have a palate that's adapted to over-salted, over-spicedrestaurant food. The ladies at The Gifted Kitchen prepare food in a way that's respectful of the flavors that have always beenthere in the food itself. Those flavors only require love, home-cooking and a receptive palate.

I ordered a chicken pot pie. I heated it per instructions. It had an unbaked, undone texture and taste and not very flavorful. Very disappointing. The mini quiche I bought for another meal was delicious.

I just want to shout out to The Gifted Kitchen for catering an appetizer brunch for my daughters baby shower. We had over 30 people and we had more than enough food and best of all it was delicious. Thank you for taking a huge load off of my shoulders!!

We only tried the desserts, and they are the best we have found in town by far. Chocolate chip cookies are to die for. Delish, every thing we tried was fantastic!
