Blue Hill: Fresh from the Farm Veggie Fare

Blue Hill

Farm-fresh vegetables prepared so their flavors shine make Blue Hill a wonderful choice for vegetarians.  The fixed-price vegetable menu is just $85 and features vegetables picked from farms within 250 miles along with some foraged fare.  The amuses are fun, with a recent night featuring a collection of baby carrots, asparagus and baby turnips on a row of spikes. Accompanying the lightly marinated vegetables were the seasonal avocado sliders. The stand-out course featured a collection of thinly sliced late spring vegetables garnished with herbs and flowers. The restaurant is relaxed and has a cheerful staff. Wine pairings are an additional $65.
