We set the bar high on our first outing. Having gone to BREAD and ordered only panini and eggplant parm, we knew that going back to order THE CUTTING BOARD would be necessary.
The restaurant is a great place for a mid-afternoon bite with a friend or a loved one. They offer some nice wine and a great espresso.
The portions are generally small, but the Cutting Board was more than enough for two people to enjoy as a small meal or a big appetizer. When it arrived at the table, we knew that this was no joke.
As the name implies, the charcuterie was served on a...cutting board; for the meats, there was a great selection of proscuitto crudo and cotto, salame, capocollo, speck, and soppressata. There were also huge servings of four different cheeses, including fontina, goat cheese, gorgonzola, and most importantly, hand-made fresh mozzarella.
Also a plus: carmelized onions, skewers of cherry tomatoes, grilled asparagus, and apples and grapes with honey. It was also served with perfectly grilled homemade cranberry bread, which complemented all of the ingredients nicely. These little additions definitely set the Cutting Board apart from the rest of the charcuterie field.
Bottom line: For $20 split between two people, you can't afford not to get this charcut'.
While we may have hit the jackpot the first time around, we're confident that there are other great plates out there. Remember: Keep your eye on the prize, and live your life one charcuterie at a time (® Suburban Wells).
We know we will ;)
