Pan-fried dry-aged snapper with curry and coconut milk sauce.

The fish is dry-aged, resulting in a tighter, more meaty texture, emphasizing its natural sweetness. It’s paired with a Thai-style sauce, an aromatic tomato-based curry that is mildly spicy, and grilled zucchini.

Slow-cooked beef short rib coated with a luscious port wine jus, paired with fresh artichoke hearts. A rich cut of meat with deep, long-lasting flavors.

The set has an irresistible risotto that is oh-so cheesy! You can really taste the generous amount of parmesan cheese in this dish, enlivened by fava beans and purée and a nice glug of high quality grassy extra virgin olive oil. Extra points for being a properly al dente risotto. A favorite from the menu.

Hamachi crudo, green chili relish, and pickled garlic.

This crudo wouldn’t be my first choice when it comes to drinking tapas, but it certainly surprised! Fresh marinated sashimi cuts of yellowtail dabbed with a mildly sweet soy sauce and topped with pickled mustard seeds.
