Great Tasting at Eiderdown!

by Deb Hall » Sun Jul 22, 2012 5:30 pm

Brian & I went to Eiderdown for a Chef's tasting Before Shakespeare in the Park- expecting a nice experience, but nothing "Wow". Boy, were we wrong! :D :D

Their 4 course Chef's tasting is only $30 each; wine pairings were an additional $15 ( you can alternately get beer pairings for $12). We went with the wine pairings. Menu is totally Chef's whim- I assume they can accomodate dietary restriction, but we said " feed me Chef"- and were extermely pleased. Our dinner consisted of 4 courses:
1) a green bean salad with peaches, peanuts and Capriole Sophia goat cheese ( very tasty- large portion for a tasting)
2) mussels in a herbed broth with center of ratatouille and one large shrimp,( amazing flavor on the broth, 4 perfectly cooked mussels and one x-large shrimp. LOVED this dish, they offered bread to sop up every drop)
3) Ashbourne Farms steak with a vegetable puree with beef broth ( cooked perfectly med rare- great flavor)
4) Blueberry cobbler with house lemon ice cream drizzled with honey ( OMG - I want to move to Goss to eat this every night! Truly amazing.)

We were very impressed! Menu changes upon Chef's whim, but I expect that several of these are variations on their new menu. Portion sizes were generous for a tasting ( to the point that Brian asked if I knew the Chef :wink:- I do not). Pours were very large for a pairing- we had a equivilent of at least 2 1/2 full glasses. Service was great ( though we were very early so there were not alot of patrons). We thought it was a fantastic meal for a great deal- $90 for the 2 of us + generous tip.

I've had brunch twice recently at Eiderdown and was really impressed. The crepes were delicious. I liked Eiderdown when I first tried it when they opened but it seems they are really hitting their stride. I'm soon to become a regular. :D

I went to Eiderdown just a few days ago and it was fantastic. We did a tasting with Chef Morgan as well (Tartare, ribs and scrambled eggs, fried chicken, house made charcuterie, etc) and it was all superb. He is really hitting it out of the park there.
