New veggie lovers' spot, Fern, has a wonderful rustic vibe and comfortable feel with a big patio outside and an expanded interior (they must be doing something right!) I love their mason jar chandelier!
But the real treat is in their inventive menu, changed on a regular basis. I have heard the OM burger is fantastic but I opted for the pot pie, but instead of chicken, there was lots of squash and mushrooms in a wonderfully flavorful gravy/sauce and instead of a pastry top or puff pastry (which I think is a travesty) was a deliciously crunchy croissant that was perfect to dip into the pot pie. It was a dinner party in my mouth and definitely crave worthy. I could have it weekly.
My sister in law got the wild mushroom risotto which was tasty, but definitely more of a rice bowl than risotto. It lacked the typical creaminess of regular risotto but was surely more healthy because it was made with brown rice.
Their service was fantastic and friendly as well.
I was shocked to hear that it was the same ownership as Something Classic which for me is hit and a big miss, but not as surprised to hear it's the same as Halcyon at the Mint. Apparently it's tough to get in for dinner, so I really look forward to making this a regular lunch gathering spot and trying dessert. Hooray Fern!
