Signature Dishes

  • Bread

    Pleasing in color, aroma, and flavor; the spread is no afterthought, and bread has sometimes been offered as a complimentary item.

  • Lamb chops

    From a personal perspective, the texture was quite tender.

  • House-made mullet roe with green apple and green grapes

    House-made mullet roe paired with green apple and green grapes, evoking a harbor.

  • New Zealand venison

    There has been a main-course option of New Zealand venison; when served medium-rare, it felt a little unsettling personally, while another personal impression found the venison relatively distinctive.
