In case you missed it- our tasting menu of local corn & tomatoes is live! It’s prime season, and the veggies are abundant and beautiful. We’ll be running this menu for the next two weeks, but after that, it’s time for fall! Come try the best that summer has to offer before we shift our focus to autumn deliciousness…!

Happy Thursday! Mid week blues got you feeling down? Nothing picks your spirits up like a gorgeously grilled local pork chop from Clark Organic Farm , especially when it’s slathered in roasted guajillo glaze and garlic scape chimichurri! Plated atop toasted heirloom grits from Marsh Hen Mill and accompanied by some pickled Applefield Farm cabbage and fennel, this is our favorite way to enjoy the gifts of the grill this summer! Come try it for yourself tonight!

Happy Monday! We are resting up from a busy two weeks of dine out Boston- thank you to everyone who came out to experience the deal of the summer at 80 Thoreau! It was a delicious two weeks, and despite the promotion being over, we still have lots of exciting news and upcoming events! This Wednesday (8/19), Chef Gavin is heading to Cambridge for a special oyster tasting menu collaboration with Chef Robert Harris and Sam Day of Season to Taste! We will be featuring oysters from our favorite seafood source, Red’s Best, and we are so excited for this fun collab! Chef Gavin is in charge of the first and last courses- two raw oysters, and two oyster ice creams! We’ll be featuring the legendary Sherwood Select oysters from Westport Connecticut for the dessert- and if you think oyster ice cream sounds weird, well, if you’ve ever tried a Sherwood Select, you’ll know how sweet and subtly briny they are- the perfect candidates for a sweeter oyster preparation! There are still some seats for this dinner available- head over to Season to Taste’s website to snag your seat before the big day!

Chef Gavin has put together a delicious menu filled with some of our favorite flavors of the season, alongside some of the crowd pleasing dishes that you all know and love! With so many different combinations of deliciousness, why not try them all? For $55, you’d be silly not to :)

Happy friday, folks! This weekend is your last chance to try our Tasting of local Bluefin Tuna & Tomatoes! After Saturday night, we’re bidding adieu to these dishes forever! While it was fun, menus like these are only special when they capture a moment- and as we all know, even the most perfect moments cannot last forever.

Pictured here is the entree, a perfectly tempered and seared bluefin tuna “ribeye”, a beautiful piece of tuna cut from the prime, tender meat closest to the center of the tuna loin. Accompanied by crispy fried polenta, savory grilled heirloom tomatoes, genovese basil aioli, kimchi vinaigrette, purslane, and fried garlic, this dish screams summertime!

Don’t miss out on the tuna! There’s still some space tonight- reserve your table now!

Some say bluefin tuna belly, or o-toro, is the wagyu of tuna. Well, we think that wagyu is the bluefin tuna belly of beef! This incredible bluefin, coming fresh from Red’s Best on the Boston fish pier, is our star of the moment! Expertly cut and graded, each piece of toro we get from reds is a beauty to behold- and tastes even better than it looks! This luxurious ingredient is relatively difficult to get your hands on without restaurant connections, so we’re thrilled to offer it as the first course on our local bluefin tuna and tomato tasting menu! Here, the tuna is cured on kombu seaweed before being lightly grilled to caramelize, chilled, and sliced. Dressed with a blistered cherry tomato ponzu, a few dots of yuzu kosho aioli, kombu oil, lemon zest, Maldon salt, scallions, and black truffle. Garnished with a couple perfectly blistered sungold tomatoes, tulsi basil blossoms, and some of our favorite variegated nasturtiums! Come and get yours!!!

Summertime is for ice cream cones! Bet you’ve never had one like this before, though. Our amuse bouche for the tasting of local bluefin tuna & tomatoes is a sesame seaweed waffle cone, filled with avocado mousse, tomato & tuna poke, everything bagel furikake, and topped with smoked trout roe and a petite nasturtium leaf from .f.schwartz and garden! We love a tasty surprise bite, so much so that we couldn’t keep it a surprise any longer! Come try the local bluefin tuna & tomatoes menu tonight, and have yourself a tuna cone- you deserve it!

Starting tomorrow!!

It’s really happening, folks! Summertime is in full swing, the farms are full of incredible produce, and the fishermen are pulling in more bluefin tuna than ever before. This is great news for us!

Not only are the tuna thriving and supply is high, but the quality in the market has never been better. We are so thrilled to have connections at Red’s Best in Boston who bring us the best catch of the day, and with their help, we are featuring three different cuts of the mighty bluefin tuna in three different preparations!

But that’s not all- there’s another star in this show, and we are proud to be the first to offer you locally grown tomatoes from Applefield Farm in Stow! Farmer Ray and his amazing team are setting aside the first harvest of cherry, plum, green beefsteak, and heirloom tomatoes for us this week, and we’ll be whipping them up into all sorts of tasty accoutrement for our tuna.

This menu is only available while tuna fishing is booming, and while the tomato supply is small enough to keep it exclusive for us! According to our sources, the abundance of fish could move on as soon as early august- and by then, we’ll be up to our eyeballs in tomatoes tomatoes tomatoes!!! So, we’re jumping at the opportunity to offer yet another special summer tasting menu before it’s too late, and while it’s still early :)

Today is officially the last day of our local striped bass tasting menu! It’s been an amazing two weeks featuring this delicious fish, but all good things must come to an end. Swipe through the pictures to check out the whole tasting menu!

There’s still some room for tonight, and we’d love to have you in to experience this menu before it’s gone. However, if you can’t make it, we might keep several of these dishes around as à la carte features… so perhaps you will have another chance to try them this summer! Also, check your email! We just put some exciting news in your inbox :) hope to see you tonight for dinner! Happy Saturday!

There’s still five more days for you to try the striped bass tasting menu! Pictured here is the amuse bouche, a tasty little surprise to excite your palate and prepare you for the deliciousness to come. All of the striped bass we serve for the tasting menu is prepared without the skin- but we don’t want to waste any part of this amazing fish! So, naturally, we turned the skin into delicious puffy crispy chips, and adorned them with a yuzu kosho aioli and smoked trout roe. And of course there’s a beautiful garnish from the farm- this week it’s gorgeous flowering dill, which is having a moment right now! Come in tonight to get your very own striped bass chicharron, and experience the rest of the menu with us before it’s too late!
