I especially appreciated the creativity of the seasonal menu for this farm-to-table restaurant in January. Would be here all the time if I lived in the area! To start, we had a number of appetizers. Our favorites were the crispy brussel sprouts with bacon jam and the smoked ricotta with snap peas I had never had anything like it before but the ricotta was incredible, like a better version of hummus. The duck sope really stole the show though. It was so juicy with a handmade corn cake you could tell was freshly made. I loved the sope so much I ended up ordering the duck confit as my entree with a side of sweet potatoe puree, green beans, and beets and I am so happy I did. It was easily the best duck I have ever had, it just melted in your mouth. For dessert, we tried everything, the sticky toffee pudding, apple cobbler, and chocolate pot de creme, which honestly were all delicious. If I had to pick, I would say the vanilla ice cream on the toffee pudding was my absolute favorite. I heard they make it fresh on site. You have to check this place out!!

Nothing profound. Moderate to small portions. The dessert was a complete let down. They need to be more creative. The drink was very lack luster too. Food was cooked nicely, well plated, unique butter and fritters. Unique use of squash. Staff was very attentive. Very accommodating with substitutes.
