| It may reside on a wretchedly busy intersection---and you may be bitter that you didn’t snag a space in the tiny parking lot---but once you’ve stepped inside chef-owner Olav Peterson’s sanctuary of neighborhood warmth, everything turns to sweetness, beginning with the artful wine list that’s stamped with eclectic choices. Peterson’s equally inventive menu benefits from the bounty blooming in the chef’s onsite garden---a lush outdoor oasis of herbs and vegetables, including chard, red and green tomatoes, squash blossoms and eggplant. To wit: a deconstructed sweetbread Reuben with pickled tomatoes and Jarlsberg fondue; skate wing sauced with béarnaise and sided with crisp-crusted oysters and asparagus; and Norwegian haddock bolstered by a fiddlehead fern salad and English pea purée. |
