Menu

Portland Monthly said the restaurant offered a "classic, New England style of comfort food, but with modern touches and a flavorful boost from regional ingredients".[10] The menu included cod cakes with poached eggs, dill sour cream, and sautéed spinach, as well as ricotta pancakes with bacon, berries, and maple syrup. The restaurant also served smoked trout,[11] corn fritters,[12] zucchini fries,[13] skirt steak, stews, cauliflower and potato gratin, and an upscale version of a sloppy joe (braised beef in caul fat, served on an open-faced bun with watercress, aioli, horseradish, and jus). The brunch menu included steak and eggs.[14]

History

The restaurant opened in September 2010.[15] [16] It closed in October 2018 and was replaced by Farm Spirit.[17]
