Local Organic Dining

Saturday night we were invited to a dear friend’s 40th birthday party. (Happy Birthday, Robin!) Her husband planned an evening at a local restaurant that is only open Monday-Saturday evenings, and serves the meals with a european family style approach.

I highly recommend Erin’s if you are looking for a unique dining experience, and still want to be able to have a conversation. The menu is generally predetermined, but everything we tried was delicious. Amazingly enough, I actually ate “greens” … because they were still green, and not the gray pile of non-descript goo that has previously been offered me under the heading “greens”.

Early in the season 2010

The ingredients for her dishes are selected from local growers, and the menus prepared based on what is available and in season.  Having maintained my own organic garden last spring and summer, I enjoyed experiementing with some recipes myself.  It was fun to see what Erin’s approach was with her dishes.  We will be going back.  :-)

  1. Chloe,
    I am afraid I may have confused you about Erin’s. It is open Monday through Saturday. Thursday through Saturday were the days of operation before they moved into their current location.
    I, too, enjoyed the gathering Saturday night. Glad we were able to share some time together:)

  2. Hey … that’s good news. I wanted to take Mark back there sometime, and it will certainly be easier to plan if there are open all week. :-)
