Spring is being greeted at the Greenhouse Bistro and Bakery with new fresh dishes featuring Northern California Wine Country Cuisine. The Bistro’s Special Menu dishes on Thursday through Saturday evenings include Drunken Rabbit (rabbit stewed in red wine, mushrooms, carrots, onions and herbs) served with mushroom studded polenta ($16.95); Crab Cakes served on fresh pea puree and topped with cucumber coriander slaw ($15.95); Salmon Medallions on a yam puree and garnished with fresh micro greens and roasted asparagus tips ($15.95), and hand made 10 inch pizzas ($7.95). California Cuisine uniquely emphasizes fresh ingredients, usually layered and unadulterated by sauces.
A new Appetizer: “Fire and Ice” will chill and thrill you. Fresh melon balls are coated with a sauce made with finely diced Serrano and red bell pepper cooked in honey and white wine until citrined, adding sweet and spicy flavors to the sweet melon
Desserts are not to be missed and include: espresso chocolate truffle cheese cake (guaranteed to give you a buzz), light lemon sponge cake with mascarpone filling, a walnut pastry purse garnished with citron syrup, and a pile of Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate brownie fingers dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with a light chocolate sauce.
I ordered the pizza. It had a cracker crust that was crisp, thin and delicious; brushed with garlic olive oil and topped with fresh local goat cheese, a medley of vegetables, and pancetta. The regular vegetarian pizza is topped with homemade tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. Also, the Bistro offers a selection of additional toppings such as local Old Windmill Goat Cheese, pancetta or salmon medallions (meats are $1.75 extra), capers, olives, sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, micro greens, and red peppers (non-meat toppings in excess of three are $1.25 each).
