potato and leek beignets, gruyere, horseradish

potato and leek soup

bread, pan drippings
reminds me of dipping a baguette into a more concentrated bo kho broth.

(new) partridge terrine, pear mostarda, santa barbara pistachios, toasted baguette
this is my kind of christmas, two eggs on toast and a partridge in a pear mostarda.

eggs on toast, soft scrambled eggs, santa barbara uni

heirloom tomatoes, gioia burrata, oven-dried peaches, basil
highlight. i can’t not order anything with peaches or burrata. @Bookwich

bucatini, cacio e pepe
finally tried their cacio e pepe thanks to @Chowseeker1999. loved the thick chewy bucatini and the nice balance of cheese and pepper, neither overpowering the other.

(new) tare-glazed beef short rib, shimeji, maitake and shiitake mushrooms, koshihikari rice, dashi
highlight. super tender (knives need not apply), smoky, sweet beef that’s paired perfectly with the mushrooms and pickles.

(new) pear en croute, salted carmel, chocolate
there’s still no salted caramel chocolate cake on the menu but this might be the next best thing. the peaches have been replaced with pears and instead of vanilla ice cream there’s salted carmel and chocolate ice cream. @TheCookie, @attran99
