Chef Khristoher Hogg opened his new Swanville restaurant Circumstance (website, instagram) in early June. It’s open for dinner on Friday and Saturday nights, Saturday afternoon for snacks and wine, and for Sunday brunch.
For dinner Circumstance customers have a choice between a 3- or 6-course menu. Wine and cider are available by the glass or bottle along with an optional set of pairings to go with your meal. Here’s a look at the restaurant and some of the dishes from a meal last weekend:
- The entrance to the barn/restaurant in Swanville
- A bowl of fennel soup with oyster cream and dried scallop flakes with a glass of Oyster River Winegrowers Morphos from the Midcoast
- A bread salad made with fermented Japanese knotweed, radishes, roasted garlic and feta
- Day Lilies stuffed with a pork rillette with carrot and browned honey sauce
- A glass of Iapetus Tectonic wine from Vermont
- Pork and chanterelle sausage with confit leeks and chanterelles
- The full menu for the dinner
- Chef/owner Khristoher Hogg at work in the open kitchen
Circumstance is open now through early October. See their website for more information on the menu and details on making dinner reservations.
