Woodward’s roasted squash flatbread
Photo: Woodward
Woodward opens today at the new Ames Hotel and the menu is, as to be expected from a spot with this kind of pedigree, a doozy. Mark Goldberg’s menu focuses on small, sharable plates of hearty food: think ricotta gnocchi with fall vegetables, tomato broth, and shaved parmesan and flatbread topped with duck confit, goat cheese, and dried cranberries. There’s a good-looking burger, too: two five-ounce patties topped with smoked tomato jam, aged Vermont cheddar, house-cured pickles (pickling is big here), and shaved onions. The cocktails from legends Bill Codman and John Lermayer are split between the classic and the new, with drinks like Sazeracs on the former and the Scollay Sling, a concoction of gin, earl grey cordial (!!!), egg white, and Angostura bitters, occupying the latter. If you need help picturing the dishes on the menu, below, make sure to check out our slideshow of some of the most promising ones.
