My wife & I love going to The Greenhouse Tavern. Combining a constantly-changing menu from the mind of Chef Jonathon Sawyer, with high quality, sustainable ingredients, the awesome food and friendly staff keeps us coming back. My wife & I stopped in for a meal on a rainy and cold Sunday night after the Browns/Ravens game. We pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves, which allowed us to enjoy our meal completely unrushed and relaxed. First Course:  Crispy Hominy w/Pork Skin Cracklins, Pickled Red Onion & Lime Juice; Devils on Horseback w/Dee-Jay’s Bacon-Wrapped Dates, Almonds, Bitter Chocolate, Roasted Fresno Pepper. Second Course:  Sloppy JO-Nut w/Savory Donut, Coffee & Cola-Braised Beef & BBQ Sauce. Third Course:  Fifth Quarter: Curried Rabbit Farro; Hand-Ground Beef Tartare w/Pommes Frites, 3-Minute Egg, Salted Fresno Peppers & Condiments. I really hope they consider adding the Curried Rabbit Farro to the menu; it was seriously one of the Top 5 dishes I’ve had all year. The fact that my wife rolled her eyes back upon sampling is a good sign… Fourth Course:  Porcini Mushroom Risotto w/Matsutake Mushroom Fumet, Jean Louis Chave St. Joseph, Parmigiano-Reggiano; Lamb Burger w/Stinky Cheese Fondue, Champagne Shallots, Olive-Dusted Pommes Frites & Tangy Yogurt; Animal Frites w/Bacon, 2 Fried Eggs, Whole-Grain Mustard, Mozzarella Cheese Curds, Brown Gravy. Fifth Course:  Whole Deep-Fried Apple w/Braised then Deep-Fried Apple, Brown Butter Pastry Cream, Caramel; Jeni’s GHT-Exclusive Maple & Walnut Brittle Ice Cream. We also had a glass of The Greenhouse Tavern’s 2007 Oregon Pinot Noir, made for the restaurant by Sineann. It was a perfect pair to our meal. I’m told that the Whole Foods stores in the area sell bottles of it - I’ll definitely pick up a bottle or 2. If you’ve never been to The Greenhouse Tavern, you definitely owe it to yourself to check it out. The 4-Course Chef’s Tasting Menu is $44, and is an amazing deal - You can choose 3 courses and a dessert, or a half-course in lieu of dessert. Definitely come hungry - you’ll eat like a king!
