Each bite is like a little song of vegetable purity burnished by the sweetness of fruit, then given weight by the shadow of roasting and caramelization. It's also gorgeous-one of those plates you look at and think, "Oh, this is a chef. This is what I could never do. This is art."

I eat his food, period. And I feel fortunate when I do, because, trust me, Woodman possesses a prodigious culinary talent.

At Heidi's, the food feels not about showing off or achieving status, but about strengthening relationships ... like the work of a master chef who came out of retirement to open a little neighborhood place, just for the joy of cooking.

So, it was good. Not totally perfect, but the food itself was pretty close! ... You will not be disappointed and, honestly, it is worth twice the price you will pay.

he real test is what you can do with more mundane ingredients like beets, brussel sprouts and beef short ribs. By that standard, Stuart Woodman's work at Heidi's (named after his wife and co-chef) is impressive.

His beet salad with fennel, shallots, brussels sprouts, juniper and sorbet is an example of his style: It sounds weird, but it works.

His creative fervor is backed by a singular passion for prime ingredients. ... romantically-fashioned rooms serves as a relaxing backdrop for Woodman's modern riffs on comfort food.

Average. Heidi's is a great chef-driven neighborhood restaurant but the uncomfortable noise level and slow service won't have us returning any time soon.

The ingredients may be more proletariat than in past gigs, but each plate sings with Woodman's singular cooking style.
