We went here last night and thoroughly enjoyed everything about our experience... the food was perfectly on the mark... we had the grilled cheese appetizer, chicken and dumplings and braised short ribs for mains and peaches and cream for dessert... now all this sounds very ho-hum but it was the extra touches that made it so incredible...
once we placed our orders, they brought us out rolls served with this incredible sweet apple butter... heaven! the outside of the roll was crunchy and the inside was so soft and tender...
the grilled cheese is made with crispy pancetta (perfect!), a blend of four cheeses (that are melted to the perfect gooeyness) and toasted on a foccacia that was light and crispy.. this comes out with a side of tomato soup that compliments the grilled cheese perfectly...
the chicken and dumplings was sensational.. the perfect blend of homey, comfort food with those extra touches that made it special.. like using sliced snap peas which maintained a nice crunch rather than the traditional sweet peas which tend to turn mushy and the subtle herby flavor hit the mark.
The braised short ribs were incredibly tender, didn't need a knife at all and the mashed potatoes were great! perfect creamy texture but so flavorful on it's own and the green beans were cooked to just the right crispy-ness.
by the time dessert came around, we were already so full we almost didn't get it, but we opted for the peaches and cream which came with a delightful, light mousse atop poached peaches topped with streussel.. it was very tasty. it was a nice sweet end to a wonderful meal.
