Four
Square rotates their fresh and local menu every two months and be sure
that Colin & Deanna try to indulge in each and every new menu they
offer. On Tuesday, they found a babysitter for the Inn (me) and traipsed
over to Four Square to check out what chef had to offer.
If you have never been to Four Square, you must try a cocktail. If you like Whiskey bar, Revolution or Geer St. Garden (which we all adore
as well), Four Square goes head to head with any one of their classy
cocktails. Colin ordered a Cognac Sazerac and Deanna got a St. Germain
cocktail with Cardinal Gin (a N.C. born & bred gin). This set the
tone to take a peak at the menu.
Deanna does seem to get a bit overexcited when going to Four Square, so
she had already selected her meal....Colin, however, is not quite as
prepared. Their menu choices were as follows (with commentary. Please
note Deanna is NOT a food writer):
Grilled Pheasant Sausage
grainy mustard potato salad, stewed tomatoes
Deanna: The pheasant was tasty...like an upscale chicken apple sausage with amazing accoutrements!
Pumpkin Gnocchi
fried parsnips, French onion green beans, roasted garlic-eggplant broth
Deanna:
Pumpkin-y clouds that melt in your mouth on a bed of fabulous, fresh
fall veggies (brussel sprouts were out of this world).
Colin: It was the best steak I've had in years!
