This place specializes in farm to table ingredients and also serves a good selection of local wine, beer, and cider. We opted to try their signature cocktails. I had the Farmer's Daughter, made with organic vodka from Vermont, watermelon, cucumber, mint, and sugar and topped with a small watermelon wedge. I really enjoyed how refreshing this drink was. Justin had the True Lies, made with Colorado gin, absinthe, cucumber juice, sweet basil and served sparkling and topped with a cucumber slice that was pretty much a pickle. It tasted almost like pickle juice. He liked it but I don't know if it was something that he would order again.
For an appetizer we had what was very similar to a clams casino. I don't know the exact name because it's not listed on their menu on their website but that is a very close approximation. These were served in a small cast iron skillet on a bed of rock salt. They were tiny but really good! Woodberry serves them with their Snake Oil, aka hot sauce. I liked that it wasn't overly spicy and paired well with the clams, which were mixed with breadcrumbs, garlic, tomatoes and a few other things.
I chose the trout for my main course, served with leeks, sweet corn, new potatoes, and herbs such as dill. This was fantastic. I love love love fish and it was moist and the skin was a nice amount of crispy. I'm also obsessed with sweet corn and anything that resembles an onion like leeks. I cleaned my plate.
Justin had the steak, marinated in red wine and served with potatoes au gratin. It was a perfect medium rare and melt in your mouth. You also can't go wrong with potatoes au gratin, smothered in golden, bubbly cheese.
We had a great experience here and would definitely like to go back some time!
