Applewood

Last night we got lucky with the last no-reservation table at Applewood!

Seasonal soup was a mild celery root pureé with bits of jalepeños.
We shared three small plates:
duck bolognese with potato gnocchi and garlic confit (in a delicious red-wine reduction of some sort)
ham confit with tomatillos,peaches, and grilled leeks
and butter poached maine lobster with beets and cipollinis
and the entree of grilled pork loin with creamed spinach, baby turnips, and red wine-plum reduction.

Best were the two pork plates! The pork with peaches and super-thin sliced tomatillos was the winner.
Antonia was so happy she forgot to brush her teeth!
