 Chef Stewart Woodman launched a local culinary revolution when he swept into town in 2002. His creative fervor is backed by a singular passion for prime ingredients. In 2007, abandoning up-market venues, he launched a casual, 38-seat neighborhood hangout in partnership with his wife, Heidi. The storefront’s pair of romantically-fashioned rooms serves as a relaxing backdrop for Woodman’s modern riffs on comfort food, such as a standout breast of local pheasant roosted on a cauliflower-arugula salad. This, we think, is the correct follow-up to a starter that highlights Woodman’s enthusiasm for beets, a theme with three variations on a single plate (partnered with fennel and shallots; paired with Brussels sprouts; and in a juniper-scented sorbet). Heidi earns her keep as wine consultant; beyond managing the offbeat, user-friendly list, she also serves as pastry maven for the café’s destination diners, who vie with the ’hood’s regulars for one of the coveted seats.
