Fresh off the boat, these Prince Edward Island mussels are lovingly prepared in white w**e, nested in an irresistible vadouvan curry butter, topped with micro cilantro, and served alongside grilled tuscan bread. As far as seafood dishes go - this one's a real catch!

It’s hard to say what makes a classic, but one thing is for sure: you’ll want to enjoy this week’s pizza special over and over again - and we think it gets better every time. The “Grape Expectations” pizza is a light and summery medley, featuring an olive oil base with roasted grapes, lemon ricotta, burrata, and prosciutto. It’s finished with toasted pistachios for a nutty contrast and a subtle crunch. Get one while you can - it’s available tonight through Tuesday, September 15th!

OUR SEPTEMBER SIGNATURES HAVE OFFICIALLY ARRIVED! This menu was inspired by the vibrant culinary culture of Southern California, where fresh markets, diverse influences, and a strong tradition of shared dining create a unique food experience. Conversations with chef friends and family who live in the region highlighted how the climate, environment, and access to exceptional local ingredients contribute to the growth of a wide variety of fresh produce, inspiring the flavors and concepts behind these dishes. Try them for yourself, they'll be here for the entire month of September!
