Urban Solace Description:
Urban Solace teams up the talents of chef Matt Gordon, who brings Northern California wine country panache, and GM Scott Watkins, who takes a "comfort service" approach, hoping guests will feel like they are dining at a friend's home. Go straight for the Sonoma goat cheese and butternut squash dip with cornmeal crackers or the warm cheese biscuits lavished in orange-honey butter. We like the braised beef cheeks with smoked tomato jam, nestled artfully on sweet potato mash. Mac 'n' cheese takes on two incarnations: duckaroni---yes, duck confit with blue cheese and arugula, or the house favorite with New York sharp white cheddar with caramelized bacon and charred tomatoes served up as a side in glass mason jars. Boutique, off-the-beaten-path wines create an interesting list. Keeping with the comfort theme, a hazelnut-butterscotch puddin' is a befitting sweet ending. During the lively bluegrass brunch, try the Monte Diego, egg-dipped bread with smoked ham and Fontina cheese sweetened with grilled pears and strawberry-currant jam. Add a house-made spicy Bloody Mary and you've got the makings for a glorious afternoon of good eats and fine music.
