I had dinner at The Huntsman last night because it is right in the heart of my neighborhood.
As a previous poster highlights: THE STEW. I honestly think the stew will have a cult following. There are two stews. One is a white bean, kale, manchego stew and it is served with a light flakey biscuit submerged in the crock. I can't believe it is a vegetarian stew (including the broth base). It was so unbelievably good.
The Huntsman stew was a venison shortrib stew and also really packed a complex - but not clogging - flavour profile. If I had to choose, even though I'm an omnivore, I'd go for the white bean stew. I've honestly never enjoyed a soup or stew as much as that one.
The rest of the food was delicious. Highlights: the lamb meat pies, the fish & (light batter and not a hint of grease seeped into the fish itself), the breadpudding (perfectly seasoned and moist, also vegetarian), and the apple pie.
The price point was surprisingly reasonable and the portions were large.
I will definitely be back for brunch as the area desperately needs another brunch option. The brunch menu posted had full meals in the $9-$14.00 range.
Very attentive service.
