H aving long been nonplussed by the mid-century-mod chalet smack dab in the middle of Woodfords Corner we are amazed to be driving to- ward a beautifully lit jewel box inside which graceful figures appear to be dancing. Inside Woodford Food Beverage the magic continues.

Its all enhanced by the textures and tastes of pistachios and dried cherries. Although one could easily order some splendid smaller dishes to make up a meal roasted oysters market mussels and fries 11 stuffed clams 6 classic deviled eggs 8we go full monty. Braised Pork Shank 21 is falling-off-the-bone wonderful set on top of a brilliantly crafted white bean stew with luscious baby carrots rosemary thyme caramelized onions bacon and braised greens. Plenty to takeaway home. The star of the evening though is the Stuffed Lobster 24 This classic prepared by chef Courtney Loreg Fore Street Bres- ca Aurora Provisions is a charming nod to bygone Portland restaurateur Donald Val- le whose Valles steak-and-lobster chain got its start at this very spot in 1933. But Loregs renditionpoached whole lobster accom- panied by celery root puree roasted toma- toes toasted challah and a stunning dol- lop of duchess potatoesbrings a new level of sophistication. Its a dream dish present- ly available only on Wednesdays as the plat du jour. Desserts too are a cut above 8. Mem- ories are made of such things as a bowlful of creamy vanilla panna cotta sporting cran- berry coulis and white-pepper shortbread cookiesor a piping hot brownie topped with local Little Bees ice cream caramel and praline pecans. This crossroads destination is truly a bright new gem. n Woodford Food Beverage660 Forest Ave.Portland. SunMonWed.
