Apolline Restaurant Review

: The building that houses Apolline has previously been home to other fine restaurants. Now, chef Matt Farmer, who is known for his work in some of the city's best kitchens (most recently at Salu), has taken over the space. The menu is tailor-made for New Orleans diners. Look for hearty fare, including lamb chops, grilled salmon, pork dishes, flatiron steaks and rotating preparations using seafood and red meats. The chef's authentic Cajun boudin appetizer and the sautéed sweetbreads with stone ground grits will serve as reminders that this is true Louisiana cooking. And the goat cheese mousse with crème anglaise may bring you back to this place all by itself. Of particular note is the very brief wine list. While not big on numbers, it has been carefully thought out and artfully presented in categories such as "texture, depth and rustic" selections. Wisely chosen reds from the Pacific Northwest share the list with wines from Chianti, Burgundy, a somewhat hard-to-find Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, and a couple of substantial Shiraz entrants from Australia. Apolline is intimate, warmly lit and inviting.
