Our Favorites

Short Rib Ravioli

The Short Rib Ravioli is a standout starter or light entrée, perfectly capturing the restaurant’s ability to elevate comfort food. The pasta is tender and clearly house-made, encasing rich, slow-braised short rib that melts in your mouth. It’s served with a velvety sauce—often a demi-glace or a rich reduction—that enhances the meat’s depth of flavor without overpowering it. Each bite is a perfect balance of savory richness and silky texture. A must-try for pasta lovers.

Tenderloin Shepherd’s Pie

This is not your average shepherd’s pie—it’s a hearty, upscale twist on the classic. Chunks of tenderloin are incredibly flavorful and cooked to buttery softness, layered beneath whipped potatoes and surrounded by a savory gravy and seasonal vegetables. The dish is well-portioned and deeply satisfying, making it ideal for cooler nights or when you’re craving elevated comfort food. It’s warm, nostalgic, and luxurious all at once.

Seafood Stuffed Haddock

This entrée is light, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The haddock is fresh and flaky, baked to perfection and generously stuffed with a crab and shrimp mixture that’s both rich and delicate. It’s often served with a lemon beurre blanc or similar sauce that complements the seafood without masking its natural sweetness. Paired with seasonal vegetables and a starch like rice or potatoes, it’s a well-rounded dish that feels indulgent yet balanced.
