The French knew what they were up to when they created “fricassee” 🌱
Not to be over looked, PAN ROASTED SALMON with a SEASON FRICASSEE… as said “I love the idea of a fricassee, it means we’re using all the vegetables available to us, coming from the farm, as they arrive.” CRISPY SALMON SKIN melts into its gently roasted flesh, served over a sauté of local vegetables- asparagus, Swiss chard, radishes + turnips- in a delicate vegetable broth. From our friends at , and , the abundance of late spring + early summer vegetables had been vibrant to say the least… and exactly what the French intended to accomplish with a seasonal fricassee. Get it tonight! We’re serving dinner 5-9 P.M. 🫶 RSVP with ☎️

Steve’s backyard mint kicking off summer + pride month 🌈
The MOJITO is BACK! Every summer, we await the first harvest of HOMEGROWN MINT which has become synonymous with the classic cocktail. Our take on the MOJITO begins with a fresh mint syrup, white rum, lime, soda water + a few generous bumps of … you could say we’re “locked in” on the MOJITO here. No chunks of mint, no crunchy sugar… rather a perfectly balanced, aromatically reviving, rousing imbibe. It’s the liquid of summer, even our eyes feel refreshed taking it all in. AND WE’RE MAKING YOU WANT IT MORE… for the month of JUNE we’re DONATING $1 from every cocktail sold to the 🏳️‍🌈 We’ve got an endless supply of fresh mint, which means there’s no cap on how many MOJITOS we can make 🫶
