Gift Tips

  • Start with the baked brie or tuna tartare—both are guest favorites for sharing at the table.
  • If you enjoy seafood, try the salmon with a light glaze or the pan-seared halibut; portions are balanced with fresh vegetables.
  • For a standout entrée, consider the braised short ribs or the lamb chops—both are frequently praised for tenderness and flavor.
  • Ask about nightly or rotating specials like the gluten-free fried chicken on Wednesdays; popular items can sell out later in the evening.
  • Save room for dessert—house-made ice cream and crème brûlée are popular choices, and the key lime pie is often a hit.
