Restaurantes cerca de Richmond Historic District

On a cold Tuesday night four of us gathered for an early dinner at the Taverna. The waitress was gracious and accommodating. The wine list is extensive and excitingly different. We selected a delicious red wine from Peloponnese, from Abelon Winery and sipped that with dips ( tzatziki, a feta and hot and sweet pepper, taramasalata) served with grilled and charred peasant bread brushed with oil. We sampled a baked filo pie filled with braised leeks, feta and dill was rich, with alLucious creaminess and flaky pastry, a Greek white bean soup with vegetables and herbs, a Pastitsio of pasta, béchamel, and classic cinnamon, tomato beef combination. The sides chosen were warm herb roasted beets which were beautifully sweet and savory, melt in your mouth roasted potatoes, infused with fresh lemon, and a platter of perfectly baked delicata squash rings. What a treat to explore so many unique flavors, colors and textures of what felt like super healthy options. The menu is al la carte and we could have also chosen halibut, lamb shanks, or chops, sea bass, and so much more. One diner enjoyed a dark NA Portland produced local beer. Desert was the classic baklava that was prepared with a top and bottom file crust filled with cinnamon scented walnut mixture, and a slice of yellow cake dotted with fruity cherries and topped with a cherry juice drizzle. The cherries used were just beautiful in flavor. Tiny vintage cups of Turkish coffee were strong and black and slightly sweetened with honey. The Taverna is a cozy cafe just off Main St in Brunswick, surprisingly simple and elegant at once. We were told by the server they sell their imported wines through a wine club and host wine pairing dinners. We plan to return often.

Our experience was as wonderful as always, and the food was outstanding! I was surprised, however, when we got our check as both of our meals were more than indicated on their menu. I’ve attached a photo from their website showing what the range is for their meals with the highest price being $79. Both of our meals were more than the high-end ($84 & $89). We did not order anything that was a special like the tomahawk chop, ours were just meals on the regular listed menu. We’re thankful for the 20% discount since they had to reschedule us due to a staffing issue on the night we had originally reserved, but still pricing seemed too high. We’re afraid the increased pricing is going to limit our being able to enjoy the Sedgley Place very often which is unfortunate.

Can’t say enough good about the incredibly delicious meal I had a Nobel Restaurant. Appetizer of mushrooms and creamy cheesy grits was delicious, the wrapped. cod over a bed of creamy orzo and beans was so moist and satisfying. The cocktails- were amongst the most creative and delicious I’ve ever had. Server and hostess were lovely. A gem of a place!

The vibe was wonderful. Setting was cozy and chic. Food was spectacular. Pasta was so fresh and flavorful! Definitely returning!

Beautiful outside table and enjoyed wonderful service.
