Dining At Park Winters

I had the pleasure of dining at the new restaurant at Park Winters. What a breath of fresh air in dining! Having been to Park Winters for various events, I wondered how they would transform an event environment into an intimate fine dining experience. Any doubts I had were erased once seated and the epic dining experience began. Imagine — a seven course dinner — each course so unique — each bite a joy. The common thread, however, was the freshness. Farm –to-​table is almost an over-​used term and it is not really needed to describe the menu. It is a given that each ingredient is local and is fresh. A prix fixe dinner included a potato cannolo, sunchoke soup, tortelli, quail, trout, and Smores for dessert. The presentations were so amazing that there was a slight hesitancy in eating it so as not to destroy it! Visit their website,
, for the descriptions which are mouth-watering…visit the restaurant for the real thing. Take some friends with you. I am looking forward to the next menu when Chef Scott Ostrander brings us out for another «simple country luxury.»

I was fortunate to attend the preview party a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed. But for dinner this past Wednesday it was taken to an entirely higher level. Attention was paid to EVERY detail, from being greeted at the parking lot, to the last bite of desert. There was nothing more that anyone could have asked for! Executive Chef Scott Ostrander presented a fabulous menu created with ingredients from the regions local farmers and every course was outstanding! We selected the wine pairing with our dinner and I learned a lot about wines and how they interact with particular foods which just added to the presentation. I’ve been fortunate enough to dine at the region’s best restaurants, and I have telling all of my friends that the measuring stick in this area has just changed. Chef Scott has set the new standard. So much so that I will be there for their Valentine’s Day menu and I am looking incredibly forward to it!

An evening at Park Winters is not just dinner out, it’s an overall experience. The chefs did an exceptional job of expressing their creativity and passion for food, every bite was amazing. We went with the sommelier-​chosen wine pairing menu, and were so glad that we did. There were some outstanding wines that we never would have known to pick without his guidance. All of this combined with top notch service from start to finish truly made this a wonderful night!
