 Chef Scott Anderson’s precise, inventive cooking is fascinating for its unexpected flavor harmonies. The restaurant’s name was inspired by his goal of creating a balanced union of elements between the food, service and environment. Ever-changing and always engaging, the menu is one to contemplate, pondering dishes such as local porgy with butternut squash, fennel, scallion and sunchokes; braised short ribs with kale, beets, trumpet royale mushrooms and crispy potatoes; or pheasant on wild rice, sweet potato, hazelnuts and carrots. As much as possible, Anderson’s dishes are made with locally grown, sustainable products prepared via methods drawn from a multitude of international influences. If a diner encounters something unfamiliar, say, aligot bread, the knowledgeable waitstaff is there to assist and enlighten. The wine list is extensive and well researched with fine selections available by the glass or the half bottle. Add to that an earnest sommelier more than willing to help. Desserts are notable not only for their taste but also for their presentation and variety. Visit in fall and hope that pumpkin cheesecake is being served.
