Last night's final vacation dinner was a doozy! I drove out to Hammonton, a darling little town that reminded me of back home. Unbeknownst to me, a classic car show was to be held on Main Street starting at 5:30, so the restaurant filled up fast. Luckily I had finagled a seat at the bar just after 5:00. I could tell right away that this was a place that locals frequented and were known by name. I loved that personal touch. Ashley was my bartender, and I started out with one of their specialty cocktails, I think it was the Spring Fling, a bubbly concoction of prosecco, lavender syrup, citrus vodka (I think), served in a coupe glass. I opted for one of their specials as my appetizer, burrata over frise, sliced radishes and charred fiddleheads, drizzled with a lemoncello/saffron vinaigrette. Delightful! My entree was their half portion of Nonna's risotto with beef braciole. What a great idea to offer different sized portions! Jackie kindly explained the various menu options and did mention that it was a "stick to your ribs" kinda meal. She wasn't kidding! It was delectable, but I was only able to savor one half of this half portion. Too bad I was leaving the next day, or I would have taken it with me to enjoy for lunch. Thanks for an enjoyable evening!
