Wiltshire

Enjoyed a girls night here. We made late reservations, and sat for several hours imbibing and eating and laughing. Food on point. Cocktails are great, even though they "ran out" of a few while we were there. But, the wine list is good, too. Highly recommend.

This has become my very favorite place to go for an evening out. The staff is the most pleasant, well-trained wait staff I've ever seen, and the food concentrates on local, fresh ingredients. The Persephone cocktail is amazing. I dearly love it and I've stopped in for just a Persephone some evenings. It is so very good. The atmosphere here is wonderful, with lots of wonderful natural wood and terrific seating arrangements that provide cozy places to dine. I love this place and I hope it is around forever and ever.

Persephone was forced to return because she ingested one pomegranate seed.

Inspired by the Persephone cocktail at Wiltshire, I'll use Greek mythology to describe my experience at this amazing restaurant.

In Greek mythology, Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and the harvest-goddess Demeter. Wiltshire's menu is the combination of God like ingredients harvested from local farms. The menu changes weekly based on the local quality of produce available making sure the offspring of dishes delight all diners.

Homer describes Persephone as the formidable, venerable majestic queen of the shades. In similar tone, while Wiltshire stands among many other amazing Nulu restaurants, it has the ability to give an intimate experience since there are only around 10 tables and gives an individualized experience with royal quality of service and wine selection.

Because of her appeal, Persephone was abducted by Hades, much as we were abducted into ordering two appetizers. We tried the fresh guacamole and fried plantains appetizers. Both appetizers where extremely flavorful and well portioned for a group of four to share. For dinner we tried the steak and pork dishes that were offered that night. My meal was seasoned perfectly and had a perfect home cooked quality.

Persephone is invariably portrayed robed; often carrying a sheaf of grain. Wiltshire does not have large adornments or a posh interior, like the goddess Persephone they represent a modest loyalty to the harvest. In addition, Wiltshire represents it loyalty to the community and to the superb experience to its diners.

I was tempted with a Pomegranate cocktail, but after ingesting all that Wiltshire had to offer, I will be forced to rotate back with the seasons and you should too.
