The Burning Tree, Otter Creek ME



















SP made reservations for my 40th birthday at The Burning Tree in Otter Creek, which is just south of Bar Harbor Maine.



















The sustainable and locally grown and gardened menu is creative and innovative and promises to delight.





















For an appetizer I had the most delectable, amazing, and creative Gorgonzola Bombolini and Beet Salad (pictured above). it was literally a non-sweet donut filled with Gorgonzola which, when deep friend, was a liquid center of delight. It was served with a home made almond butter.



















Shane's appetizer was one of the local hen clams - it truly is as large as a small hen.
 
















 My entree was the amazing Indian style cabbage leaves stuffed with a rustic potato and garam marsala mash served over a tomato turnip sauce with a coriander mint cashew cream. Yes, it was vegan. :D
 
















The sides were a beautiful curried cauliflower with a nasturtium garnish.



















SP's entree was one of the specials and I wish I had written the description down.
 
















My desert was a wonderful razzle berry vodka drink, pictured with SPs salmon shirt as a back drop.
