Feast on dishes like house cured duck pate with a frisee and pickled onion salad, cara cara orange and crostinis; braised beef short rib with pommes puree, bacon wrapped babay carrots and braising jus reduction; and finish with homemade banana cake with vanilla-cream cheese frosting and walnut ice cream. One word: yum.
