Eiderdown Restaurant Review

: Inside Eiderdown’s historic red-brick corner building, you’ll find an inviting wall-length bar and symmetric rows of rustic wooden tables, the kind that cry out for overflowing flagons of beer. Given the fine craft draft list, said flagons are easily ordered. The German-inspired menu is sprinkled with updated Southern flavors. Duck fat popcorn (a must with the beer) is popped to order. Seasonal salads range from watermelon with boiled peanuts and fennel to red-veined sorrel sprinkled with pistachios. A spätzle-based entrée is vegetarian; it’s served with ratatouille, but you can add sausage for a small upcharge. Other main dishes include locally raised roasted chicken with collard greens and sausage, roast rabbit, and ancho-rubbed pork ribs. If you are not a beer-drinker, don’t despair. There’s a very reasonably priced and well-chosen wine list, too.
