The Antler Room is fantastic. The food is amazing, service is unbeatable, and drinks are always interesting. Mostly small plates, we like to get 4-5 for two people, but your server can help you map out a plan of attack. They're very good about food allergies as well - helping you easily steer clear of any issues. Can't wait to return!
Just had the BEST anniversary dinner at The Antler Room!!! Service and staff were a perfect 10!!!!! The food was super! We took our 12 year old grandson and he LOVED everything! We will definitely visit again.Ed and Micki H.
Excellent food experience!! The attention was excellent too! I really recommend this place for the people who want to try something different. The quantity of the food is not so much but quality and flavors is extremely enjoyable. We definitely come back!! In the picture is the desserts. The green one is the pistachio ice cream, it was an explosion of flavors!
This place is impressive. In a city known for its barbecue, Antler Room raises the ante and executes perfectly. Picture here is a celery and kale salad and Georgian meat dumplings. The salad was an explosion of flavors and, quite honestly, the winner of the evening. But it had stiff competition: the dumplings were incredible. Not pictured was a lemon cake with huckleberries (good but not amazing). The service could not have been better, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. If you haven't been and you want to step it up for an-upscale-but-still-casual dinner, put this one on your short list!
This place was really delicious. Everything is served family style and the service was amazing. We particularly love the celery kale salad (tastes better than it sounds). I didn't mind that the dishes come out one by one and you graze as the come, but we ordered some sides and 2 main courses and I didn't like that our broccoli was the very last dish to be served. Felt like that should have come before the main courses. I didn't care for eating that at the end of my meal. I would eat here again but may just choose to do it differently next time.
Dinner was EXQUISITELY SUBLIME!. Husband and wife Nicholas and Leslie Goellner and the team of the The Antler Room delivered a powerful multi sensory experience where each course progressively took my tastebuds into a titillating ride full of delicious unexpected detours and details! Each dish crafted with such mastery, refinement,elegance and thoughtfulness, made for an exceptional evening; an endless night of foreplay. ?We ordered ever dish on the menu except for the mushrooms and the tortellini (that’s because we really really wanted dessert)?#eatlikealadyshouldFOR DRINKS I HAD THE:A refreshing elixir of Tequilla , grapefruit, sage syrup, lime.A smoky potion of Mezcal, gentian liquor, citron syrup, lime.FOR DINNER WE HAD:*Roasted Squash*Succulent, sweet, nutty squash in a luxurious butter sauce with Chinese sausage, XO crunch sauce and five spice pecans and squash mochi.*Carrot Fritters*Golden cubes impersonating porc belly perfectly fried then drizzled with a carrot & serrano hot sauce, served over whipped garlic, garnished with fried shallot and scallions.*Beet ricotta toast*A slice of pillowy Japanese Shokupan bread dressed with house lemon ricotta, and accessorized by marinated and roasted beets, topped with almonds dukkah rounding up the flavors with notes of warm fennel , coriander, peppercorn with a hint of thyme.*Dumpling*Soft, plump, succulent soft, stretchy, white pouches generously filled with deliciously flavored Icelandic Lamb, Beef, and Pork Georgian served in chili oil topped with chives.*Celery & Kale Salad*Fresh, crispy celery with earthy kale tossed with avocado, jalapeno, candied cashews, dressed with nam jim dressing, and topped with fried shallot.*Fried Japanese sweet potatoes*Crispy wedges of Japanese sweet potato served with a smoked chili pepper aioli, black sesame seeds and chives.*Fried Cauliflower*slightly crunchy yet creamy cauliflower flavored by Korean gochujang served overa creamy and spicy avocado/wasabi puree, accompanied by pickled vegetables and quinoa furikake.*Grilled Broccoli**Expertly grilled broccoli, shishito peppers, tonnato sauce, potato chips, cured egg yolk.* Scallops*Plump, tender, juicy expertly grilled scallops served with grilled onions, grilled kale bathing in a caramelized onion broth, and topped by a vail of pine nut mousse.*Cappellacci*Hat shaped pasta filled with in a cioppino broth, shrimp, crawfish, squid, crispy anchovies, dill vinegar.*Rigatoni*Short wide tube shaped pasta wth ridges that captured every bit of the goan curry with blue crab, tobiko and fennel.*Pork Chop*Tender, juicy Berkshire Pork Chop with braised escarole tossed in a red wine vinaigrette accentuated by bits of fried anchovy and fried capers.FOR DESSERTS WE HAD:*Madeleines*Seashell shaped mini cakes served with matcha ice cream, drizzle with green peppercorn sauce and garnished by candied citrus.*Vanilla Vacherin*A decadent frozen treat made with meringue, sorbet covered with frozen chantilly topped with toasted almond.

We had 6 plates plus dessert and cocktails. About half of the items we tried were excellent, but the food overall was very good. The service was also wonderful, we were a little early but the host kept us updated of our table every few minutes. The rest of the wait staff was also very friendly and helpful. Would absolutely eat here again.
I haven’t eaten here yet but my friends have been adamant about me going here, to the extent of giving me a very generous gift certificate. Unfortunately due to COVID and other things getting in the way, I haven’t had a chance to make it for nearly a year.I had a reservation booked for tonight, but we got quite a serious snow storm today. I called in to confirm if we were still on, and I was informed by who I assume was the owner, that due to the bad road conditions, they would not be opening tonight. I was also assured my gift certificate would be honored past the expiration date.I’m giving a five star review because based on my conversations, I would say the owner obviously cares about the safety of her employees, which is the number one priority, but also about the experience for customers, which may have been diminished with short staff due to the obvious safety issues.I’m disappointed I was unable to experience their great food tonight, but am happy they put their employees safety and integrity of the customer experience as their top priority, even if they lost a bit of money tonight.Excited to experience this place in a few weeks with my rescheduled reservation!
I tried to find out as much about this restaurant before going for the first time. Everything I discovered came to pass and more. Small plates, large flavor, even larger presentation. The balance of elements making up each dish shows masterful, almost alchemic, precision. If you know what's in it, even if you know how it's made, you can't truly say why it works. I can't. But they do work. Thanks for a most memorable meal experience. And final kudos to Audrey, our tour guide extraordinaire. She offered knowledge and neutral invitations to explore. I can't ask for anything more.
We go 3-4 times a year for special occasions and it never disappoints. I love that the menu is different each time but the chill unpretentious vibe is the same. The best meal in town, hands down, no contest.
