Come dine outdoors in our English Garden

July brings us outdoors into our very special English Garden at Lambert’s Cove Inn & Resort. Our Woods Restaurant offers the opportunity to dine in our garden setting while being serenaded by birdsong. This month, we’ll also introduce acoustic guitar accompaniment by our friend Michael Haydn (also our chef’s guitar teacher!) Please see our menu and watch our website for updates about outdoor musical accompaniment.

Featured Farm Partner, Beetlebung Farm, Chilmark

Our chef, Galen, and his wife, Bridget, attend the weekly farmers’ market in West Tisbury religiously. A large part of our chef’s culinary philosophy rests on the respect he holds for farmers and producers. Galen knows the flavors he aspires to are impossible without newly harvested, responsibly-raised ingredients.

Since arriving to the island in February, Galen and Bridget have worked to begin to develop partnerships with farms and farmers on the Vineyard, sourcing particular items from different farms—and he and Bridget are often out on the winding Vineyard roads searching for product for the evening meal.

One partner farm to Woods restaurant is Beetlebung Farm up-island in Chilmark. Beetlebung is a gorgeous, no-till, regenerative farm that strives, according to farmer Kate, to be responsible stewards of the land and to grow interesting varieties of veggies. She mentioned the Safari squash as an example. We are especially in love with their delicious head lettuces—which we use in our salads.

Goldilocks: Introducing our Wine of the Week to be featured on our recently reactivated Instagram and Facebook feeds

To celebrate our new wine list, we’re featuring one wine each week on social media. Follow us on Instagram to learn about the week’s featured wine and what we pair it with on our menu. 

This week’s wine is Liquid Farm, Chardonnay, ‘Golden Slope,’ Santa Rita Hills, California 2018, which we love paired with Chef Sampson’s summer swordfish dish. Liquid Farm is a richly textured chardonnay that is intensely aromatic. Golden Slope is in reference to the Cote d’Or (golden slope) region of Burgundy where the incredibly famous (and extremely expensive) wines from the villages of Puligny and Chassagne Montrachet. It is a dead ringer for Chassagne, ripe apple, roasted lemon, candy pineapple, buttered apples and a killer texture from the oak. Santa Rita Hills is a very cool region which helps with the acidity to balance the weight.

The winemakers at Liquid Farm have endearingly nicknamed this wine “Goldilocks” because of her impeccable balance of richness and fresh acidity. She is “just right!!”

Ella Moyes, Our Pastry Chef

If you’ve eaten at Woods, you’ve probably sampled our new pastry chef’s key lime tart. Or her orange-basil crème brulee—or her perfect flourless chocolate cake she serves with mint whipped cream made from fresh mint picked from our herb garden. If you’ve stayed with us, maybe you’ve been lucky enough to sample her scones or her cookies—or her signature lavender shortbreads that are very special amenities for our inn guests. Ella is a recent graduate of University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where she designed her own major of social entrepreneurship. She is a wonderfully talented and caring young woman, and we are lucky to have her.
