I must admit I was surprised by 100 Mile Cafe in 3 ways, in positive as well as negative ways. Its mostly Japanese style influenced food, which to me really overwhelmed its theme of most food being sourced within 100 miles of its location. If I had known this was 80% a Japanese restaurant, I would have come in with a different expectation. Having said that, and if you read my other reviews as I eat a lot of Japanese food and pretty harsh usually, I was pleasantly surprised how great some dishes were executed, down to the sauces.
