Season to Taste

Jea Kim

A once-trendy farm-to-table spot that now feels past its prime. Heard plenty of great things from my colleagues about this place, so expectations were high when I finally visited for dinner a little over a month ago. However, it didn’t quite live up to the hype. While I appreciate the commitment to farm-to-table dining and seasonal ingredients, some dishes felt overly intricate—too many elements competing rather than complementing. The balance was there, but the subtlety was lost, leaving the rest of the meal feeling somewhat muted in comparison. Examples of this were the Lamb Chop and Miso-braised Cabbage. The aromatic greens and earthy sauce complemented the lamb’s gamey flavors but also ended up overpowering them. Plus, the lamb’s natural gaminess clashed a bit with the toppings. Similarly, the cabbage, topped with sage and peppers, had a nice tangy sauce, but there was just too much happening on the plate. Still, there were two dishes that I really enjoyed—the Smoked Trout Toast and Nantucket Bay Scallops. The toast felt like a luxe upgrade of smoked salmon toast, elevated by smoked roe, tangy pickled onions, and crispy capers. The scallops were buttery soft, with the soubise and butter enhancing their richness. Tennessee Caviar was also a nice touch—thin-cut potatoes added great texture, though they slightly distracted from the delicate caviar.

Our first time trying this restaurant after hearing a lot of good things, and the food did not disappoint. The menu is fairly extensive and most of what we had were tasty dishes served by a friendly and efficient staff. The moist thyme biscuit with the pimento and pickles was a great combination and large enough to be shared by two. I really enjoyed the acorn squash salad. Large slices of squash, crispy Brussel sprouts, pickled onions and greens with a fresh tasting dressing. This was my personal favorite dish of the meal since I favor vegetable dished. The Scotch egg looked great but tasted bland as a whole and the egg texture was tough. The shrimp and grits dish was really buttery and creamy as grits should be, but definitely very rich. The pork ribs were a large portion of three ribs and were tender and tasty. The arepa dish was interesting. I like the combination of the various components and it was very filling. The fried clams were served with clam chowder. Very nicely fried clams but the chowder was just lukewarm. Would have preferred it at a hotter temperature. We realized that we had ordered and ate too much so didn't have room for dessert. But, will definitely come back to try other dishes. So happy that we found another restaurant that focuses on serving good quality and tasty food, at reasonable prices. Special thanks to the hostess who accommodated us at a table instead of the bar as a last minute request. Even though we had to limit our meal at the table to an hour due to other reservations, service was quick and we were able to finish in time.

The vegan tasting menu was incredible! Every dish was the most creative, delicious we've ever had. As good as New York and San Fran restaurants. I don't even know how to describe the food because it was so intricate and flavorful and gourmet. The mixed drinks were delicious and creative too. Can't wait to try things on the regular menu as well.

We went to celebrate my wife's birthday with a few friends on Monday evening. It was amazing! We ordered three starters and five different main dishes, and everything was beautifully plated and delicious. The servers were very nice and professional. They were very attentive to our dietary restrictions. We were there for a while and did not feel rushed. The environment was clean, well decorated and not too crowded or loud. We really enjoyed our time and I will be back!

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. They take so much pride in their art and it shows. Everyone was knowledgeable about their craft and they use high quality, locally sourced ingredients. The best part was how down to earth they were. Sometimes, tasting menus can be really stuffy. We felt like we were able to get to know them authentically. Thank you for allowing us into your world for an evening. It’s a special place.
