Weekly Specials

This week we tweaked a few sides on our standard menu. We added smashed English peas and truffle-soy vinaigrette to the scallop app, and cauliflower with the chicken. Lastly we introduced a baked meatball dish in place of a braised beef item. I saw Daniel Boulud prepare what he called, “Danish Meatballs” and was inspired to try the combinations myself. The meatballs are all locally raised organic beef with a heavy hand of nutmeg and onion. We set them in a bad of buttermilk whipped potatoes, top everything with caramelized onions that are cooked down to a semi-liquefied state, and finally bake the whole thing topped with gouda cheese. The response has been very good.
