Shortrib & Lamb Pizza
This pizza is full of flavor. Tender, braised shortrib is one of my all-time favorite things. It has a luxurious buttery quality that underlines all the positive attributes of beef. The tender shreds on this pizza illustrate that point beautifully. Coupled with red pepper, crumbled goat […]
Fried Chicken with bacon bleu risotto
Wow, this is the sort of meal that should require a disclaimer: Don’t make plans for today… you’ll need a nap… soon. The bacon bleu risotto was incredibly rich, buttery, creamy, and smooth. A generous dotting of bacon added smoke appeal and depth of […]
Chips & Salsa
Tacos filled with crab balls and blackened fish
I’m not a huge fan of tacos. And, the tacos here aren’t Tex-Mex or even Tex-Tex, for that matter. They’re just stuff stuffed inside flour tortillas. But, it is tasty stuff in generous […]
Single French Press Pot
This might not be the best cup of coffee in town. But, it’s strong & better than diner coffee.
Potato Cake Benedict with a side of more potatoes
Some might find this to be excessive potato usage. But, I enjoy simple […]

St George — Absinthe Verte
We first conducted a limited tasting of absinthe in June of 2008 with the candidates at our local wine shop. We tasted Lucid and Kubler. Now, every time we step into the shop, we see a new […]
Creme de Violette

Potted Chicken Liver & Foie Gras Pâté with grilled bread
The touch of smoke from the grilled bread play off the creamy richness of the pâté. All at once, rich, buttery, and delicate with an air of sweetness that just barely presents itself. (Possibly from a reduction of armagnac, to […]
Badminton Cup Gin, cucumber, mint, & a splash of soda… delicate & fresh
Crabcake, fried egg, asparagus salad with orange, grapefruit & citrus dressing The crabcake was perfectly light & crisp. A hint of lemon within the crabcake tied the crabcake & salad together brilliantly.
