JULY Friday | Saturday Evenings
With the July menu, chef is blending our garden produce with cuisines that place a greater emphasis on tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant, specifically Spanish and Italian cuisines. Summer and enjoying the outdoors is also an emphasis with components like the fire charred onion, which will be cooked directly on coals in the gardens fire pit.
Chef also wanted the dishes to reflect the idea of “slowing down,” as far too often we find ourselves in too much of a hurry. Many of the dishes require several days of preparation and constant attention to achieve the desired goal. |
