Chef’s Tasting Menu
Prime New York Strip Loin with Fiscalini Cheddar Pearl Tapioca and Rutherford Red Wine Sauce
A Note From Chef Ken Frank
This dish was born of my desire to develop a signature dish that would nail pairing with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, which for us represents the home team. It’s based on the flavors of Mac n’ Cheese but with really good Fiscalini Bandage Wrapped Cheddar. The tapioca surprises people that only know of it from their grandmother’s dessert pudding.
Maine Lobster with Tender Spring Vegetables and Ossetra Caviar
A Note From Chef Ken Frank
Sometimes you just put really good things together and it works. Here, the magic is a little cauliflower horseradish buried underneath to tie it all together.

Leave the decision-making to Chef Ken Frank as he shares six ever-changing courses inspired by the seasonal richness of land, sea, and sky. Typically, the Chef’s Tasting includes four savory courses, one cheese course, and a dessert.

Seared Foie Gras, Nastursium, Radish, Duck-Dashi Consommé
A Note From Chef Ken Frank
Foie Gras will forever be on my short list of the best foods ever. I really look forward to getting past the lawyering and putting it back where it belongs on the menu.
