Ahhh, like stepping into a comfortable pair of slippers.
One pork please.
the menu sounds great... cant wait to come taste the food... what hours you open? find any good sources for local proteins?
We will open at 5:30 and close at 9 during the week, then 10 friday and saturday for now, there is talk of staying open later on fri and sat if there is a demand.
all our beef is from a local organic farm, I think the name is Silties Farm...anyhow, we go through a specific butcher Dee-Jays, our pork is locally grown too and from the same butcher. The rabbit is local thru Fresh Fork Market. The cheeses are on the cheese plate are local. The chicken is Gerber...a wholesome grower. All the dairy is from Haltzer, eggs are fresh brown amish eggs. We use only domestic squid and scallops which are both sustainable fisheries.
Yum. Appetizer of scallops for me with a 1/2 portion of mushroom risotto. Or maybe the pork shoulder with the cress salad instead. Yum!
