Was so happy we got a chance to come here! And luckily on a Wednesday when they do their 3 wines + 3 appetizers special, a no brainer since there were 3 of us! The appetizers were unique and delicious, we had a red cabbage salad with crispy salami croutons, a creamy polenta with eggplant ragu, and 2 savory cannellonis. They were pretty sizable, and could be a full meal for one person.
Since we were splitting them, we also got a few mains, which were also mostly from their specials list. We got the soup o' day which was back bean and smoked sausage and the fish o' day which was halibut with risotto and veggies. And because we wanted to venture off the specials menu, we also got mushroom toast. Everything tasted marvelous! My favorite was the halibut, which tasted fresh and firm, mildly seasoned which let the flavor of the fish itself shine. Nothing was heavily seasoned, and yet was all flavorful, and care was taken to decide what flavors would pair well.
We were full, but enjoying ourselves, so opted for dessert too. We got the pot du creme and a glass of port, and did not regret our decision. The toffee creme wasn't too sweet, but was thick and decadent, and the port was a nice way to finish off dinner. Seward is lucky to have a restaurant like the Cookery, was not expecting this experience in a small town! We liked how the also displayed local artists inside, and locals were greeting each other! Would love to return, especially on a Wednesday to see what other specials they offer! This place would be perfect for date nights or if anyone is visiting (as we were)!
