What to Order
Lamb Shank
This slow-cooked lamb shank is incredibly tender, falling off the bone, and served with a rich, flavorful mash.
"Lamb shanked was cooked to the perfection, the ladies recommended wine to pair was also wonderful!"
Mahdis Taqizadeh
Crème Brûlée
A classic dessert featuring a rich custard base topped with a contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar.
"The crème brûlée for desert is one of the best I’ve had."

Duck Breast / Duck Confit

"My favorite dish was the duck breast entrée."
Maxim Perrault
Pumpkin Cake
A seasonal dessert that offers a delightful combination of warm spices, crunch, and creamy textures.
"For dessert we had a deconstructed Pumpkin Cake (like a granola bowl but for dessert) that was crunchy from the toffee, sour from the cranberry, warmly spiced, and creamy from the mascarpone."
Neha
Banana Bread French Toast
A unique and popular brunch item, offering a sweet and satisfying start to your day.
"I highly recommend the huevos and the banana bread french toast."
