Cupid cuts in on round two, an entree of Dark Spice Infused Slow Braised AZ Ranch Wagyu Beef Short Rib with a Caramelized Fingerling Potato foil and Crimson Beet and Golden Chanterelle Gratin Essence of Forbidden Exotic Mushrooms.
The love fest culminates with a sinful Nocturne Dark Chocolate Sticky Truffle Tart enveloped in a Cinnamon Smoked Almond Crust with a silky Acai and Goji Berry Sorbet and Port Wine Salted Caramel crown. Three-course menu, $59.00 per person excluding tax and gratuity; $19.00 per person wine pairing. A la carte available.
For lovers on the fast track, the special Valentine’s Menu — available February 13-15– kicks up the love quotient with the addition of Fanny Bay Oysters Poached in Champagne Sauce and Pan Seared Hazelnut Crusted Giant Sea Scallop resting on a Comice Pear and Burrata Ravioli with a Telecherry Infused Emulsion and Red Anjou Pear Cilantro Salad.
