New to toffee pudding? It's a warm, tender sponge cake made with chopped dates, which melt into the batter and give it a deep, caramel-like sweetness and a moist, almost velvety crumb. Then it's soaked in hot toffee bourbon sauce, buttery, glossy, and rich with brown sugar, until every bite is sticky and spoonable.

Think of it as the coziest dessert you've ever met: part cake, part pudding, all comfort.

The flavor combination is always a favorite, but the locally grown heirloom tomatoes, combined with burrata and house made focaccia, brings it to another level.

Heirloom Tomato Salad - burrata, pesto, basil oil, aged balsamic, pickled red onion, house focaccia

Our gnocchi had to get in on Michigan corn season. House-made ricotta gnocchi, sweet corn, courgette, and tomato, finished with chèvre, miso, pesto, and fried shallot.

This corn didn't travel far. Grown by our friends at Crisp Country Acres, it arrives at peak sweetness, and we think the best thing to do with corn this good is keep it simple.

So we cut it into "ribs" (quartered strips of cob), season it with our house kombu blend for a deep savory kick, and finish with lime. Set the silverware aside for this one. Each piece is meant to be picked up and savored straight from the cob.

Late summer, in a bowl. Sweet Michigan corn simmered into a chowder and finished with crème fraîche, sun-dried tomato, and a little chili flake to keep things interesting. The season isn't over yet.

A chive crêpe stuffed with confit duck and zucchini is reason enough to come in. The pan-seared Maple Leaf Farms duck breast is the reason you'll stay. Cabbage, pistachio, and Michigan blueberries tie it all together.

Summer may be coming to an end, but that just means it's Michigan corn season! In its honor, our kitchen has turned to what it does best: taking something simple and letting it shine.

Our guest-favorite gnocchi returns with those late summer flavors: courgette, tomato, sweet corn, chèvre, miso, pesto, fried shallot

Alongside it, two new dishes built on the same idea: a Corn Chowder with crème fraîche, sun-dried tomato, and chili flake, and Corn Ribs with corn, house kombu seasoning, and lime.

Pair it with something from the w**e list, and settle in for an evening that feels exactly like this time of year should.
