THE BEST BITES.
For appetizers, I recommend starting off with the Wagyu Carpaccio, Charcuterie & Cheese, or the Lobster & Squid Ink Linguine.
- The Wagyu Carpaccio is thinly sliced Miyazaki A5 sirloin topped with hot pickled shallot and watercress.
- The Charcuterie & Cheese is perfect to share, featuring porchetta, foie gras torchon, soppressata, Manchego, aged cheddar, Roquefort, as well as seasonal accompaniments.
- And the Lobster & Squid Ink Linguine is served with roasted autumn squash, sage, and a ginger-chili nage.
For entrees, you cannot go wrong with the 22B Filet Mignon, Pork Tenderloin, or the Swordfish, served with Truffle Mac & Cheese, Lyonnaise Potatoes, or Autumn Squash Hash as sides.
- The 22B Filet Mignon is served with a pommes puree, haricot vert, mushroom bordelaise, and whipped blue cheese.
- The Pork Tenderloin is served with ginger spice rub, whipped sweet potato, haricot vert, as well as a pear-sherry chutney.
- And for seafood, the Swordfish is served with Autumn squash hash, sauteed baby kale, and a citrus beurre blanc.
While all the sides are delectable, I love the mac & cheese, potatoes, and hash!
- The Truffle Mac & Cheese is perfectly cheesy and savory – truly to die for, with the option to add lobster if you are looking to really treat yourself!
- The Lyonnaise Potatoes are fingerling potatoes served with bacon, caramelized onion, chive, and clarified butter.
- And for a seasonal special, the Autumn Squash Hash is winter squash served with local root vegetables, red onion, and sweet potato.
