Duck Lollipops
A popular appetizer, these are noted for their unique presentation and delicious, bursting flavors and textures.
"With the guidance of my excellent bartender, Atakan, both the duck lollipops and the lamb tagine proved to be one of the most delicious meals I have had in a while. Bursting with flavor and texture, both meals seem to understand how to blend together visual artistry and taste."

Focaccia
Described as the best focaccia ever, this thick bread boasts a superb crust and airy crumb, though the accompanying butter may need extra salt.
"For an appetizer, we had the sourdough Focaccia. It was, without question, the best Focaccia style bread that I've ever eaten. Absolutely delicious, superb crust texture while maintaining an airy crumb and the right amount of density."
