Though empty at 8pm on Tuesday night, Get Fresh was undeniably cute with its small candlelit marble tables and produce lined walls. Though beyond my ideal budget by a smidge Al promised that the reviews on menupages had been good, so we gave it a go. Why not?
The servings were small, but the prices were more than reasonable-- when it comes to quality we certainly got what we paid for. The slow roasted beets were chilled and tossed with olive oil, fresh tarragon, and my favorite sea salt by Maldon, while the cheese plate paired homemade goat's cheese, with blood orange cardamom chutney, honey comb, macadamia nuts and two other local cheeses. In fact, everything on the menu was either organic or local, and tasted wonderful. The half roasted chicken with braised winter vegetables was divine, moist and tender while crunchy on the outside and drizzled with a gravy. Al said it was a little salty, but really, you can never have too much salt, can you?
The only thing that disappointed was the desert: bread pudding with tres leches and a miniscule scoop of chocolate ice cream. The main issue was that it just wasn't our thing, not that it was unsavory. My only advice would be to put a trio of gelatos on the desert menu for people who are feeling a bit down home after their comforting meal.
