The White Bull

Fantastic food and super friendly staff. While we caught this place at a slower time of the day so it was quieter, everything on the menu looked great so we tried quite a few of their options including the creamed kale with fronions, vidalia onions with roe, black bass crudo, and the dry aged strip with harissa and turnip puree was fantastic! Still trying to figure out how they pulled off the toasted sunchoke shavings on the spring pea focaccia! I can eat anything but one of us had a gluten restriction and the staff was very knowledgeable of both their gluten free and vegetarian options and they even offered suggestions on how to modify a dish to meet our needs Although it was very busy on the square at the time we were there, I got lucky and got a parking spot just outside the front door and my friend was able to park just across the street in the public deck. Will absolutely be back!

When I offered to treat my best friend to a birthday dinner, White Bull was one of her top choices, so I was eager to find out why. Making a reservation is a cinch through OpenTable, and you can reserve both dining times and location (either indoors or in their beautiful covered outdoor space). If the weather is mild, dining out on the backspace is a fine option. Service is excellent here. We first found this out when we were seated at an outdoor table and my friend was hit with a sudden wave of allergies. Our server uncomplainingly moved us to an indoor spot, which turned out to be just as fine because the restaurant is so cozy and intimate. Our server swung by our table the exact right number of times to take orders, bus empty plates, and offer trustworthy recommendations when we became indecisive about our order. Best yet, no one here seemed to bat an eye when I inquired about their gluten-free options. Our server kindly went so far as to mark up my menu to clarify safe choices and possible substitutions. The bread and butter appetizer is clearly a hit here. I spotted one of these boards on every single table around us, and I was positively salivating as I listened to the satisfying crunch coming from our little bread loaf as my friend sliced into one. The fried potato wedge appetizer was cooked to perfection, with crispy edges and a pillowy inside. The sauce poured atop them had a slightly bitter aftertaste, but the texture of this dish made up for it in spades. The gluten-free pasta is excellent, and I love that it can be substituted for most of their pasta dishes.
