In August my big sister decided that BF and I needed to go to Restaurant Week with her, she didn’t care where we went as long as it offered a restaurant week menu and affordable wines. I searched the restaurant week website and twitter looking for recommendations. I found Bergamot. I’ve heard lots of wonderful things about them, both RW and regular menu meals. So we went – a table was acquired, wine was ordered, and delicious eating ensued.

| Marinated Tomatoes and Peaches |
 |
| Stinging Nettle Gnocchi – Roasted Cherry Tomato, Pattypan Squash, Shimeji Mushroom |
 |
| Herb-Crusted Picnic Pork Shoulder – Braised Escarole, Shiitake Mushroom, Red Onion, Macerated Tomato Fondue |
 |
| Cobbler – Oatmeal Tuile, Honeyed Stone fruit, Goat Cheese |
Carrot Cake –Rum-Soaked Raisins, Cream Cheese Frosting, Crispy Carrot
Our meal at Bergamot was lovely – all fresh and local ingredients presented beautifully. The heirloom tomato salad was perfectly flavored and well composed, seriously those peaches were pretty. I loved my meal – the gnocchi was just right, chewy and pillowy, though it could have been a little less salty. And BF’s pork was surprisingly moist and delicious to all of our surprise. Also – that cream on the cobbler plate, it’s whipped goat cheese. Swoon.
So when March 18-23, 25-30 comes around and you are looking for somewhere to visit for Restaurant Week go try Bergamot. It’s worth your time. 🙂
