Editorial Review for The Bayport Cookery – by Wendy Webb

In Short
This is a restaurant for lovers--of each other, food and fine wine. With its Mission-style furniture, rich floral wallpaper and soft classical music, you'll feel as though you're in an elegant home. What's for dinner depends on the mood of owner/chef Jim Kyndberg. He offers a fixed-price three-, five-, or nine-course meal featuring seasonal delicacies and locally grown produce. Among Chef Kyndberg's creations are sweet corn bisque and braised veal cheeks with morel mushrooms.

This restaurant is touted as one of the finest in the state...believe it. My wife and I went to the Cookery for a special occasion and we were not disappointed, we were in awe. We came up from the cities for a midweek get away, and kicked it off with a trip to the Cookery. We had the most wonderful time. The staff did a beautiful job arranging the special event, and the food was amazing. This is a place were food is transformed into art. The flavors and textures create compositions. What people need to understand is that the chef is not simply cooking, this is about creating a sensual experience for your palate, so full of originality and creativity that you will want to shake his hand by the time dinner is over. I have read some of the reviews and I am surprised that people are taken aback by the prices. Is it not indicated, clear as day, on the web what dinner a dinner can cost? Isn't the 3,5,& 9 course dining all clearly priced? Total disclosure is what I recall. It is well worth the price for such a delicious experience.

Pros: Regional ingredients, changing menus, innovative creations, and fine wine list.

Cons: Distance.

The food is incredible. The menu changes with the season, we were there for the garlic menu. My girlfriend does not eat meat except for fish and they were happy to accommodate. We did 5 coures paired with wine. Each course they brought a new glass of wine. The service was what it should be for this kind of restaurant.

Pros: The food

Cons: The price
