    We had a wonderful dinner at Persephone. Can’t believe it’s taken us so long to try this place. We’ll be going back ASAP- absolutely thrilled with it!

    One of my favorite local restaurants. We were celebrating a birthday and were very pleased with everything from food to service. The 3 of us each had something different: Strip Steak, Tortiglioni and Chicken...each one perfectly done and delicious. We shared the budino...always wonderful and this was no exception, the chicory and quince salad and the flourless pear cake...all delicious. Chef Cori does a beautiful job. Thanks for another wonderful dining experience!

    We encountered a brewmaster’s dinner at a fixed price. The menu sounded interesting, and it was, more so than the actual 5 courses. The wait staff, brew master and chef were friendly likable stewards for the evening. The paired beer tastes from Fruition Brewery were interesting and complimentary with the courses. The courses started and ended on a high (interesting gazpacho and passion fruit dessert), but the three courses in between tended to all taste the same…too dry, too much Dijon (?), too many pickled accessories. Some local fresh seasonal vegetables, maybe some fish or poultry would have been appreciated. At $125 per person + tip, it was not a value, or particularly memorable enough to make me want to make another reservation soon.

    Overall it was very good. Only one option of each type of protein on menu. Don't care for swordfish but that was only option as a pescatarian. Cannelini beans were.not cooked all the way. Rest of food was amazing. Great combinations and suttle flavors that just work! Panna Cota was amazing! And cannot say enough about the Ceasar salad best I have Ever had!
