Their current theme, Spring Chicken, puts an emphasis on summer foods and more lightweight dishes like their Pork belly “chicharrones” with grilled radicchio, radish, and sweet soy, Grilled bratwursts with bavarian mustard, peppers, and onions on brioche buns, and their exquisite Seafood green curry with nettles, spring garlic, coconut milk, and jasmine rice. They are open Sunday – Thursday and take online preorders from 12 – 3, Telephone orders from 3 – 8, and have food available for pickup from 4:15 – 8:15.
