Hendrix Restaurant & Bar’s new seasonal menu showcases the best of the season. Executive Chef Rainer Schwarz and Chef de Cuisine Allan Aguinaga present dishes that focus on the season’s most flavorful produce, much of which is sourced from local and regional farms. To allow guests to eat for the season, Hendrix’s menu features lighter salads and shareable starters, as well as protein-focused items featuring signature meats from the rotisserie.
Many of the new dishes are a collaboration between Chef Schwarz and Chef Aguinaga, who recently joined the Hendrix team. Having served as Chef de Cuisine at Juliette Kitchen+Bar and Farmhouse at Roger’s Gardens, Chef Aguinaga brings a love of utilizing farm-fresh ingredients into the dishes he helps to create.
“Our new menu is fresh and vibrant, so guests can eat light for the season without sacrificing the bold flavors,” explains Chef Schwarz, whose menu also features quality fish, steaks and chops. “Our freshly roasted rotisserie meats serve as a great option for those looking for protein-packed meals.”
