The Grocery Bistro is refinery at its finest— all the farm-fresh variety of a grocery, polished and amplified by an innovative menu, talented new chef, and serene setting.
The contemporary French-influenced American fare is seasonal; organic ingredients are handpicked from first-class local meat and seafood markets year-round. A popular exploitation of Chef Daniel Marquis' renowned skill in meat preparation is their succulent prosciutto-wrapped rabbit, served with an earthy parsnip purée, cipollini onions, and a curried carrot crêpe. Pulling exceptional flavor from various spice shops across the city, it’s no wonder that The Grocery Bistro’s seasoning is a signature. Patrons can taste such precise and layered flavoring in dishes like the succulent Pork Cheeks, complemented by creamy pumpkin polenta and roasted apples. The artisan cheese flight changes daily, and is served with a crisp garlic crostini, truffle honey, and apricot-fig terrine. The atmosphere here is kept lively and engaging by the communal table, an elegant focal point. The menu is displayed gracefully on a wall-spanning chalkboard, while other walls act as a rotating gallery for local artists. The best part about this re-envisioned grocery oasis? It’s BYOB.
