We have some great breakfast specials today— from the Fresh Peach Pancakes to the Basil Pesto and Sun Dried Tomato Omelet, to the Honey Goat Cheese French Toast with Blueberries, then on to a few more even I haven’t heard of yet.For lunch, try the Caprese: fresh basil, red ripe tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil on Sourdough bread. Wowie, love that fresh basil!!
Sliders!
We ground this beef ourselves, for the best blend & the greatest taste. Topped with cheddar cheese, caramelized onions and our own fresh smoked bacon— What a winner!
Side of wedge fries and some brussels sprouts coleslaw, plus our homemade ketchup.
Arroz con Pollo
Spanish Chicken & Rice, cooked the Cuban way.
Watermelon Everywhere
Two explorations of watermelon, and it’s hard to say which is tastier.
Cool soup for a hot day, with pickled melon garnish
Watermelon, the soup:
Not as sweet as you’d think, with subtle flavor that opens up as you sip. Garnished with pickled watermelon, so in the midst of the succulence you taste savory bits.
Watermelon, the salad:
Light summer salad, with cucumber, papaya, and mango, with herbs in a light dressing. Perfect for chillin’ in the hot sun.
Beyond the Beyond
Tasting Plate:
Beef & Lamb stewed in coconut milk over couscous, topped w/ pickled radish & broccoli; Grape Leaf stuffed w/sweet & sour eggplant
Rhubarb Salad, w/ blueberries & mixed greens
Pepito de Carne
Introducing a new tradition— Pepito de Carne.
Not new-new, just new to our menu. Thin sliced New York Strip on grilled pan Cubano, with wedge fries & a side of salad.
Incredible, as usual.
It’s Official! Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict
My favorite breakfast special of all time. Sprinkled with Pepper Pico (small pieces of Pickled Peppers).
The joy of Eggs Benedict plus the sweetness of savory Crab Cakes. Father’s Day doesn’t get better than this!
