A round of cocktails with personalized recommendations by our server Penny, beef tartare, frog legs, feature sheet tomato salad, hamachi crudo, pasta for Rachel, strip loin with double order of fries with house made mayo (we always get double fries, they’ll get eaten). Not pictured: Brussels sprout salad, and lovely bottle of red, and a sweet little birthday treat.

Thank you for taking care of us!
