The Open Range

Free-range chicken eggs, Tuscan breaded chicken sausage, stuffed with fresh mozzarella ovolini, nested in crispy fried spaghetti, served over pistachio fennel pesto.

Third Course

Meat and Potatoes

An elevated take on a rustic classic we all know and love. Crispy handmade potato gnocchi, served on a bed of delicious heartwarming stroganoff sauce.

Fourth Course

The Green Mile

A wonderfully tender and flavorful roasted pork tenderloin, served simply with a Latin take on the traditional romesco sauce, with roasted tomatillos, poblano peppers, and roasted pepitas, garnished with a roasted walnut gremolata. Tangy, bright, yet the perfect note to lead you to a sweet bite at the end of your experience.

Fifth Course

Caramel Apple Flan

A very simple flan, with the apple cider caramel it’s baked in doing most of the talking. With the post-Halloween months coming, this take on a caramel apple at a fall festival will make you feel at home towards the winter months
