I ended up here the night the unveiled the new menu. When we walked in I immediately loved the way the place felt and the longer I stayed, the more I noticed the attention to detail in spots all over the restaurant. We immediately started with the cocktail list and although they were out of the drink I initially was looking for, I found an amazing cocktail instead garnished with a chunk of honeycomb made by their own bees. I can't remember the name, but it was exceptional.
With a sampling of starters, I ordered the most boring one... cauliflower soup. It was delicious, but I had some major food envy over my cohorts duck hearts and the balsam fir pasta. Luckily they were willing to share and I had a taste of everything. For my entree, I opted for the Arctic Char served with parsnip puree, roasted shallots, and an assortment of mushrooms. The dish as a whole was excellent although a little light on the portion of fish compared to the amount of roasted shallots on the plate. Maybe it's just the American portions I'm used to... who knows?
The service was a bit drawn out, but overall the staff was very accommodating. They kept the wine flowing and were genuinely interested in our thoughts on each component of the new menu. I enjoyed the whole meal, but the highlights were the duck hearts and the balsam fir pasta. Both were a must order. Don't forget about that honeycomb cocktail too!
