A Celebration of Seasonality, Creativity, and Sustainability

As the cooler months approach, we’re excited to unveil our Fall Winter 2024 menu, featuring heartier, warming dishes that are perfect for winter yet balanced to leave you feeling light and energized. Each dish is beautifully crafted, with vibrant colors and elegant presentations, showcasing the best of the season through the creative collaboration of our R&D chefs.

Together, our team has developed a menu that highlights fresh, seasonal ingredients and reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation. The first course and entrée offerings bring a masterful touch to traditional flavors with inventive techniques, while our desserts round out the experience with indulgent yet balanced creations, each offering a delightful element of surprise.

First Courses

Our first courses embrace the abundance of the fall season, offering both vegan and vegetarian options that are as light as they are flavorful. The Vegetarian Wedge Salad combines the creaminess of blue cheese in a light mousse with the fresh bite of chives and the richness of sundried tomatoes and mushrooms, all crowned with delicate affilla cress. For a vegan twist, the Romaine Stack delivers a burst of flavor with our house-made Green Goddess dressing, complemented by the crunch of furikake and a refreshing hint of mint.

 

Fall’s sweet side shines through in the Kale & Persimmon Salad, which pairs the earthy sweetness of Bosc pear and candied pumpkin seeds with a vibrant maple Dijon dressing. The edible flowers add a bright visual accent, catching the eye and our appetites.

 

For a heartier start, the White Bean Hummus offers a protein-packed vegan option. The dish features a colorful array of seasonal vegetables like candy cane beets and romanesco broccoli, while a sprinkle of za’atar and a drizzle of green oil add balance, depth, and richness.

Entrées

Our entrées emphasize wholesome comfort, enhanced by global flavors and thoughtful techniques. The Citrus Brined Chicken, served with collard greens and crispy sage, is both hearty and bright, while the Su-Miso Arctic Char marries the richness of squash puree with the tartness of pickled plum and the bite of watercress.

 

Meat lovers will relish the Filet Mignon & Potato Pave, a dish elevated with caramelized onion and pickled cauliflower, bringing balance to the indulgence of tender beef. For plant-forward diners, the Citrus Brined Purple Cabbage and Parsnip Pave offer hearty yet refreshing options. Both are packed with flavor—whether it’s the dashi-infused “milk” and tangy miso of the cabbage dish or the creamy miso and earthy field greens paired with the parsnip pave.

Desserts

Chef Geoffrey Koo’s desserts bring the perfect ending to any meal. His Dark Chocolate Ganache is a chocolate lover’s dream, with layers of texture and richness from the light brownie sponge to crisp chocolate caramel tuile. For a more adventurous palate, the Black Sesame Matcha Cake balances the earthy notes of sesame and matcha with a pop of sweetness from Concord grape gel. Think of it as an elevated PB&J – the comforting classic elevated to fine dining.

 

Seasonal favorites take center stage with the Pumpkin Spiced Cotton Cheesecake, where airy yuzu diplomat cream and tart cranberry fruit glass provide a light contrast to the spiced richness of the cake. The Maple Choux offers a unique fall twist, pairing spiced wine-poached pears with the smooth maple pastry cream and a hint of hibiscus for an unexpected floral note.
