We came to Cumulus Inc. for a belated Mother's Day celebration. I've previously been here for breakfast, but I was excited to sample their dinner offerings. Knowing they didn't take bookings for groups of less than seven people, we made a point of arriving early. Coming in at around 6:15pm, we managed to nab the last table for 5. There were two impressive varieties of bread - sourdough multigrain and lighter bread with an almost cake-like consistency and a crispy, slightly salted crust. We started off with the daily soup...
