Recent meals have dazzled us with imagination, sure-handed execution, and a sense of fun, as well as deeply satisfying taste. We totally dug starters of silky sweet-potato soup, roasted stuffed quail, and seared sea scallops atop braised pork belly. Buttermilk gnocchi? Two words: Hoo boy. Entrées were equally terrific: beef short ribs with tomato jam, freshwater trout with arugula-fennel slaw, and luscious grilled pork loin chops with celery-root purée. Bryce Caron, the pastry chef, sees things through to a strong finish with an amusing popcorn mousse, go-for-broke bittersweet chocolate ganache, and other artful treats. Fine wine choices; specialty cocktails. Rating: 3 stars"Tylernoreply@blogger.com
