Pumpkin

Pumpkin continues to be an under-appreciate gem of the neighborhood. As we’ve come to expect, we enjoyed another beautiful and delicious meal there last night. I had the chilled corn soup with peppercorn Chantilly. While it could have used a tiny bit of salt, it was so tasty I couldn’t stop eating it. I spread some of the Chantilly cream on bread - yum!!! My spouse had the white asparagus with yuzu. I got a taste and understood why I only got a taste; it was bright and crisp - Summer on a plate. She had the strip steak, cooked ideally with wonderful kale and shallots, and I the wahoo with arugula. Both were beautifully seasoned and cooked - would happily eat either again right now! Had to take out desserts to go - olive oil cake with yogurt and strawberries for me, chocolate tort for her - as we were too full. Expect as the summer gets going and I feel even less like cooking we will be hitting them up for their amazing value Tues - Thurs Chef’s Dinners - can’t wait!

Affordable night out with three courses at $55 and it’s BYOB. Food was good, but overly salty for my taste (and I like my food well salted). Service was very pleasant and quick- we had to catch a show nearby and we were in/out in an hour. Just be aware that their outdoor seating is quite exposed. The heater is good, but we were still in our jackets/hats/gloves for the entire dinner (it was a fairly cold night though).
