Miso Sablefish

House Made Bucatini ‘Mentaiko’
This unique pasta dish combines Humboldt squid, spicy cod roe, lemon cream, garlic chips, and seaweed breadcrumbs for a bold and refined flavor profile.
"The standout, however, was the House Made Bucatini ‘Mentaiko’ — Humboldt squid, spicy cod roe, lemon cream, garlic chips and seaweed breadcrumbs combining in a way that was simultaneously bold and refined. A genuinely extraordinary plate of pasta."
Peter Mercer
Fondue
A popular apres-ski option, this fondue is a comforting and delicious choice, often enjoyed with drinks.
"The fondue was delectable and so was the bread and pickles. The oysters were also amazing for being in a mountain town."
Shayla Aggarwal
Chicken Breast
A surprisingly standout dish, the chicken breast is noted for being perfectly cooked, juicy, and tender.
"I would recommend the chicken breast, it was cooked perfectly and I swear I could taste the pan it was cooked in, it was unbelievably good!"
