New menu launches at Sonata

NoLibs' Sonata (Liberties Walk, 1030 N. American St.) has just rolled out a new menu. Fittingly, it's a reflection of the winter, but given the relative mildness of the current season, chef/owner Mark Tropea is experimenting with using cold-weather elements in lighter preparations. You can still find in-season offerings like chestnut purée and blood orange curd, plus hearty dishes like butter-poached lobster "pot pie" and braised short rib, but look for a delicate touch throughout the menu.

The well-loved bacon-wrapped chicken is taking a hiatus, but it'll be back in the spring; taking its poultry place for now is a simple pan-roasted chicken breast served with rich chicken jus, escarole and ricotta dumplings. "The idea is a nod to my Italian grandmother, who would make pots of chicken escarole soup throughout the winter," says Tropea. Check out his full new menu after the jump (click to enlarge).
