I ate at Reiger Hotel on Friday night. Was not impressed with the food.
I think their chef left a few months ago...
Nope. Howard is still there banging out great food.
doesn't sound like it
Started with the Roasted Beet Risotto (beef tongue, creme fraiche, watercress) - Probably the best thing I had that night.
Mrs. WNK ordered Rare Hare Barn Rabbit Cacciatore (bacon, braised kale, local polenta, olive bread) There were a few hidden bites of bones in the mix that the wife couldn't handle. We switched meals.
I ordered Crispy Beef Cheeks (creamed hominy, grilled escarole, horseradish-Dijon aioli) it was pretty good, but overcooked.
One guest at our table had Cauliflower-Parmesan Sformato (grated Marcona almond, lemon brown butter, crispy potatoes, capers, swiss chard) which was probably the best Entree at the table.
It was good, but not good enough to go back and throw down a Benjamin anytime soon. I'll eventually give it another chance.
