What to Order

Charred Spring Onions with Whipped Ricotta

Smoky, sweet scallions finished with velvety ricotta, lemon oil, and a sprinkle of crunchy breadcrumbs for contrast.

Pan-Roasted Rockfish with Brown-Butter Capers

Crisp-skinned fish atop seasonal greens, glazed in nutty brown butter and brightened with briny capers and citrus.

Heritage Pork Shoulder with Fermented Apple

Slow-braised pork shoulder paired with tangy fermented apple and sticky jus—comforting, layered, and deeply savory.
