Persephone is a fine dining restaurant that offers an exceptional experience with a cozy ambiance and a charming outdoor patio area, perfect for special occasions. The service is generally attentive and professional, although it can be inconsistent at times. Servers are knowledgeable about the menu and wine list, but some guests have noted that they may not be fully versed in all details. The menu is not extensive, but the dishes are expertly prepared and presented, showcasing flavors that are on target. Guests have enjoyed items like the peach salad and chicken stuffed with lemon, ricotta, mustard, and apricots, which is noted for its tender meat and lovely golden oven-crisped skin. The braised artichokes with maitakes and confit leeks offer a creative vegetarian option that stands out. The wine list is impressive, extensive, and adventurous, making it fun to explore. While some reviews mention that service can be slow and attention to detail may be lacking, the food remains consistently outstanding. Overall, Persephone is a great choice for a memorable dining experience, combining excellent food with a lovely atmosphere and beautiful views.
