Century House Tavern Restaurant Review

: Century House Tavern occupies a simple Victorian cottage built in 1894. Chef Richard Wilt, long with the Little Alley group, partnered with Jon Hayano to bring this lively fresh-fare concept to Woodstock. Including Sandy Springs cheesemaker CalyRoad Creamery in the fold, the menu offers a few local tastes. Cornmeal-crusted oysters arrive on a sweet corn salsa tasty enough to stand on its own. While the "she lobster” soup seems to be a riff on "she crab" soup, the chili butter overplays its hand and muffles the delicacy of the lobster. We also weren't all that taken with a small plate of toasted bread with smoked chicken and figs, a study in muted flavors. Good old-fashioned fish ‘n’ chips with slaw presented two huge pieces of Atlantic haddock, and penne with a light tomato sauce is also available. At dinner, check out the pork confit, served over seasonal vegetables and mushrooms, or perhaps the salmon atop lemon mashed potatoes with papaya slaw. Dessert could be a vanilla bean crème brûlée, a tarte Tatin or a millefeuille with chocolate mousse, among other tempting choices. The wine list is drawn chiefly from California, and is serviceable if not exciting, but it's a work in progress.
