![]() Pudding is very good, custard could be a bit more rich. The bread pudding is served warm with a cool, thick custard sauce. Skip this dish, just not good.įor dessert, the table split a bread pudding that had a layer of berrys baked into it. The pheasant stuffing was so heavily spiced that that is all one tasted was the spicing, the pheasant and pork chop could not be tasted. This was the case with the Baron's Bounty. Many stuffed items are not made on premise by the restaurant, and the second more important reason is that the combination on paper sounds much more appealing that the actual execution served. I usually shy away from stuffed items for two reasons. The Baron's Bounty was a 10oz boneless pork chop, stuffed with a pheasant Santa Fe. Two VERY large chops, cooked to medium rare, very good garlicky flavor. The rack of Venison was replacing the medallions of Venison that are usually on the menu. The duckling was terrific, being cooked with a spice base of cayenne, white pepper, paprika, dried basil, dry mustard, cumin, garlic. Good.Įntrees ordered were the roast duckling aux framboises, rack of Venison, and Baron's Bounty. A new england version with a heavy tomato presence.

The dumplings I'm very sure were not made on premises. Crab cakes were good, with nice large chunks of crab and not much breading. Pop was concentrating on the wine list, quite a nice selection.Īppetizers ordered were the Maryland crab cakes and mi uon (pork dumplings with soy and a chili dipping sauce). Started off with a scotch & soda, not a usual for me, but the drink was quite strong FWIW. My assumption is there is not enough tourist traffic during the prime summer and winter months, nor are there enough locals supporting fine dining, afterall this is the land of the supper club. PB's is a small restaurant, maybe 10 tables, "gourmet dining" as PB's claims to serve is not the rage and most fine dining places don't make it in the Northwoods. My Pop informed me that Pine Baron's (PB's) was listed in an article recently in the New York Times Travel section, so my parents, wife and I headed here the other night.
