Reviews
My friend ordered the Cubano sandwich and loved it, and another friend had the avocado toast with egg salad on sourdough, which was thoughtful, fresh, and elevated far beyond the usual café fare.
The service was amazing…warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. This is way above average, intentional food made by people who truly care. Easily a must-stop in Door County.
A bit pricey but I have no complaints, everything was delicious and worth the money.
Thanks for the meal!
Very satisfied!
From the greeting at the door to the server (Claire) with her great smile to the Food that was Beyond great!! The Grill Cheese with the side of roasted veggies was outstanding! The Bluefront Burger, was amazing, I added nothing to it! To top it off, they had my beer! I am happy for those that showed up
This six-course smorgasbord began with ceviche scallops and a scrumptious little chicken croquette. While the croquette was scrumptious and pulled a nice bit of spice from the sauce smear below, I was quite taken by the luscious little lime pillows of the ceviche.
Next came a beautifully built checkered salad comprised of cucumber, watermelon, and a Hispanic cheese called panela (similar to feta.) the feta like cheese made a wonderful pair to the melon and cucumber, a pairing that I find underutilized as a whole. The salad was tied together with a lovely vinegreta Mexicana and just a smattering of sweet jelly.
The soup was a concoction comprised of yellow corn grits, savory broth, and braised short ribs. The result had huge comfort food chops reminiscent of the filling my grandmother once used for homemade pot pies.
The bass plate was my chosen favorite as the parings were the most unexpected. Many have tried to pass off cauliflower for mashed potatoes in the past, and this is the first time I would admit that I was genuinely stunned that I had not been eating potatoes. The creamy mousse was crowned with a layer of seared spinach, a flaky fillet of bass, a sour-sweet glaze, and a crown of mint. The flavors all came together with a well-thought-out balance, but the real star here was the mint.
While many pulled the crown of mint and cast it aside as garnish, I broke mine up and enjoyed it with the fish. It added a whole new element to the flavors presently on the plate and has me considering testing mint-fish pairings in my own kitchen. I hope the chefs were as impressed with this dish as I was. Truly remarkable.
While I would say the bass was the true entree of this meal, the main event came in the form of sous vide chicken and steak. The steak was done masterfully with a heavy char to the outside and vibrant color in middle and paired well with the accompanying salsa. Sous vide chicken is hard to hate, but rolling the thigh in the garnish of Brazil nuts gave it that bit of extra pop.
The journey came to end on the sweet, sweet note of a decadent passionfruit truffle that saw a fruit layer over velvety chocolate. This was accompanied by churros with an elegant dulce de leche sauce and a shot of coffee.
It was a perfect conclusion to a wonderful night of adventurous eating. The table settings were elegant and inviting. The music was smooth and enjoyable and the wine went down easy. Service was so spectacular that nearly every sip of water was immediately replaced. It was truly a wonderful event.
I hope that they are able to host more in the future so everyone can share in the experience.
