Refined, scratch-made fare circles the globe to gather enticing tastes for in-house and home dining.
FOIE GRAS TORCHON
Flavors of global cuisines are infused into every course, such as a Foie Gras Torchon appetizer, a French delicacy. The gently seasoned, formed, and poached foie gras, sliced into a medallion topped with coarse sea salt, boasts a melt-on-the-tongue texture. Counterpoints to the rich meat include mustardy mostarda sauce with raspberries, fig jam, brûléed fig, pickled shallots, capers, and gooseberries, with lavash crackers supplying crunch. Of course, each component is prepared in house, as are breads, pasta, stocks, sauces, dressings, and desserts. Meats, seafood, and produce are procured from top purveyors, and when an adjacent greenhouse is completed, assorted veggies will be site sourced. An on-site apiary currently supplies honey.
Another upcoming amenity is an event center for banquets, which will also greatly expand the kitchen work space. Other forwardthinking innovations that supplement in-house fine dining include “Savory at Home,” a 3-course takeout dinner-for-two that changes weekly, and “Retail,” a varying selection of goods and goodies from the scratch kitchen, encompassing breads, bone broth, smoked meats – such as pecan-smoked salmon bellies – frozen uncooked meats, pickles, pasta, and more. “Family Style” meals arrive for holiday celebrations, so put a scrumptious to-go feast on your calendar now.
Spirited beverages to accompany premise dining cover not-foundin-state-store wines from a well-curated list, craft beers, and a selection of seasonal cocktails – plus all the classic libations you crave.
