When Bonterra moved into its historic building, a century-plus-old church in the Dilworth neighborhood, the owners preserved the most elegant aspects of the church while making it into a contemporary dining space. That Bonterra has one of the top wine programs in the city has only helped make this a destination dining spot. The menu features house-made pâtés, an extensive cheese list to match with wines by the glass, and dishes that, under executive chef Cory Sharpe, seem worldly while retaining Southern touches at times (Niman Ranch pork chop with braised collard greens and cider brown butter). Other dishes include signature fried lobster tail, a cowboy rib-eye and Arctic char. Desserts are made in-house by pastry chef Celeste Rackley, whose nightly cheesecake selections, crème brûlée and molten chocolate cake are hard to resist. |
