Blue Heron Restaurant

Oysters

Mini Mason Jar with Housemade Ricotta and Local Honeycomb

Pan seared Blue Fish with seasonal vegetables, garnished with local strawberries.

While driving through the North Hampton / Amherst, I passed by this interesting looking house who had been converted into a restaurant. Upon looking online at their menu, it looked quite promising and decided to stop by for a bite. Little did I know, this would become one of my favorite restaurants in the Western Mass area. Also, if you’re a big localvore, you’ll be pleased to know that there is references to the likes of 44 different local farms!!

If there was one dish that I favored and if you are in the area, please please please do yourself a favor and try it out. Mini Mason Jar with Housemade Ricotta and Local Honeycomb. Absolutely delicious. A cool smooth ricotta with a textured honeycomb on a warm toast. Holy smokes is it amazing!

Food at Swifts Attic shot by Matthew M Wong

Warm Niman Ranch pork cheeks w/ sourdough toast and condiments: fig & mustard

Crispy twice cooked duck wings; ?black bean glaze, kaffir chili sauce

Squid Fries; roasted garlic aioli, ?charred lemon, herb salad

Tucked upstairs, this is a new place I found via Delta’s Sky magazine. As I only had 24+/- hours in Austin, ended up going to Swift’s Attic at 11am, just as it opened. I’m guessing the place wasn’t expecting anyone that early as they were still filming for a local food critic.

My favorite dish was without a doubt, the squid fries. Get the squid fries. Just amazing! It was tender, well seasoned and was really fun to eat. Squeeze the juice from the grilled lemon as you go; as it’ll help keep the squid fries’ texture. So good.
