Glasshalfull Restaurant Review

: The handsomely designed Glasshalfull combines a bistro, bar and wine boutique in a restored historic building. The bistro’s original menu offered small plates exclusively, but has been updated to include dinner-size portions of chef Adam Cobb’s distinctive contemporary cuisine. We like to start with a shared plate of chicken liver pâté with port-fig crostini, then a roasted beet, goat cheese and orange salad topped with a subtle anise vinaigrette or the creamy rutabaga soup. The third course may be bouillabaisse or almond-crusted flounder with fennel purée or the chicken fricassée flavored with lavender and thyme. A simple chocolate pot de crème with a splash of rosewater or panna cotta with balsamic reduction and berries makes a good finishing touch. Bottles from some of the world’s most interesting vineyards make up the wine list, and most are available for tasting in either three- or five-ounce portions. The adjacent wine boutique and bar is the spot for tasting wines and for private events.
