A couple service blips, interesting menu, not too expensive, nice variety of wine at varied price ranges (although, more by-the-glass offerings would be nice), casual atmosphere
What did we have and how was it?
Farmstead Cheese Platter, Charcuterie Board & Tuscan Pork Belly
The verdict - the cheese selection was enjoyable & the quince jam quite tasty. The cranberry jam was mouth-puckeringly tart & did not seem to compliment any of the cheeses. On the charcuterie board was all handmade salamis & such - the bresaola & fennel salami were the standouts. We weren't big fans of the pork belly - virtually no meat, all fat - the sauce was full of flavor & the creamy polenta had a great texture.
Red Wine Braised Rabbit, Beef Bourguignon, Lamb Shank & Braised Belly
The verdict - the rabbit & the beef were both fairly dry. For the rabbit, the flavor of the poppy seed tagliatelle was pleasant; although, the pasta came out on the mushy side. The beef was in a flavorful bourguignon, with pearl onions & potatoes - great comfort food (although, one diner had sauce & the other did not … ??). The lamb shank was overpowered by extreme rosemary flavor & the risotto a bit undercooked. The lamb belly was perfectly cooked, with appropriate proportions of meat to fat.
For the table - Truffle Frites & Mac & Cheese
Both of these … great! Of course, who doesn't like a good truffle frite!?
Well?
Overall, good experience & with the wine & menu variety, so much more to taste should we ever go back. The staff was friendly, but the service blips that we experienced were disappointing - entrees delivered separately to the table over a span of nearly 10 minutes, our unopened bottle of wine sat on the table for quite a while before being opened & served, & we were given forks for desserts that clearly required spoons - ice creams, pudding ...
