Chef Devin's menu for the week of June 6

Have you been out to eat and the food was so delicious that when the waiter came back to ask, "How is everything?" all you could do was moan in appreciation? I've been getting a lot of that lately as I table hop in the dining room. I have loved my job but I love my even more delicious job even more!

On the menu for this week--though items do change daily, depending on what comes in and what looks good...

The amuse bouche tonight is a roasted tomato, with herbed marscapone, balsamic reduction, and basil from our kitchen garden.

For starters or small meals
Roasted Cauliflower and Sage Puree $7
with Toasted Walnuts and Fresh Lemon Sorrel

Spring Salad $8
Carding Brook Greens, Spiced Pecans, and Shaved Pecorino with a Rhubarb Vinaigrette


Lobster Ravioli (you can see a photo of Chef Devin putting on the finishing touches in the last blog entry) $14
Stonington Lobster, Parsley and Lemon Gremolata, and Pea Greens


Baked Bagaduce Oysters (Josh the oyster man or his helper brings them right from the Bagaduce River to our door) $13

We've been fine tuning our wine list, adding more choices including additional bubbles. A popular selection has been one of our reds available by the glass or the bottle, an organic pinot noir, Domaine du Chateau d'Eau, Moillard, France, 2010. We have some great organic wines on our list. We have to give a shout out to Maxx at Blue Hill Wine Shop who has generously shared his knowledge and passion for wine with us.

If your dinners don't have you moaning in appreciation, call us. We take reservations for Monday through Friday, 5-8 p.m.
