The kitchen writes a short menu around what the boats land and the farms cut that morning. Take the dining room, the bar, or one of eight seats at the chef's counter, and stay as long as the wine holds out.
Every Sunday the kitchen serves four courses family style at $65 a person, with an optional wine pairing for $30 more. Tables seat from 5:00 PM and the last one goes out at 8:30 PM.
Shucked to order, dressed with apple, shallot and champagne vinegar.
Hand cut sirloin, cured egg yolk, capers, salt and vinegar potato crisps.
Seared on the skin and finished in a white wine broth with butter beans.
Aged eight days, rendered slowly, carved over farro and glazed turnip.
Forty days on the bone, grilled over oak, sliced with bone marrow butter and watercress.
Crisp meringue, crème fraîche, red fruit coulis poured at the table.
“We took the counter for our anniversary and watched every plate come together. The grouper alone was worth the drive from the beach, and nobody rushed us out.”
“The sommelier asked two questions and then poured something I never would have ordered. It was the best glass I had all year.”
“I eat vegetarian and the kitchen rebuilt the four-course menu for me without making it a production. My husband got the ribeye. We both left happy.”
“Booked the private room for eight. One price agreed ahead, one check at the end, and the staff kept the wine moving all night.”
The book opens 30 days out. Friday and Saturday fill within a week, midweek usually holds until a day or two before. Parties of five or more go through the phone at (904) 555-0119 so the kitchen can plan.
Smart casual. Most guests arrive in a collared shirt or a dress, and plenty come straight from work. We ask you to skip athletic wear and beachwear in the dining room.
