Celebrated Chef Anne Kearney recently gave up the reigns of Peristyle to new Chef / Proprietor Thomas Wolfe. We started this meal with a Shrimp and Cabbage Mille Feuille - tasty but not incredible, and Pisaladierre - a warm carmelized onion tart topped with goat cheese, olives and white anchovies which was outstanding. Our main course was Duck Breast with fois gras, roasted sweet potatoes, cherries & kale and a Rabbit Chassier - served en crout with goat cheese and wild mushrooms. Both entrees were very good although I thought the rabbit was a little dry. For dessert we had a modern version of baked Alaska served with Turkish coffee ice cream - it dissappeared quickly. The wine list here has something for everyone. We chose a Pinot Meunier for dinner and had two glasses of Pineau des Charantes for dessert. Service was excellent.
Pros: Good Cuisine, Nice Decor, Wine List
