The staff eats them on and with everything. They’re especially good on salmon—here a thick fillet is dusted with lemon zest and curry spices, seared on the griddle, drizzled with yogurt sauce and garnished with the tomatoes and their to-die-for, olive-oily juices. Served with steaming jasmine rice and fresh vegetables. | $19.95 |

Served with buttermilk mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. | $21.95 |
| Chicken-fried Eggplant – Eggplant makes a very fine “steak”, just perfect for a vegetable version of the Oklahoma state dish, which of course is chicken-fried steak. Thickly sliced lengthwise to a glorious size, the eggplant is breaded and fried to a crispy exterior and a moist, almost custard-like interior. Served up on a plateful of steaming vegetable and rice pilau, another venerable Southern favorite, with a good ladle of proper cream gravy, and well, just believe me when I say you will not miss the meat, y’all. | $13.95 |
| Chicken Bouillabaise – Superior-quality chicken thighs slow-roasted with one of the best combinations of flavor in the world--garlic, saffron, fennel seed, tomato, melted onions and good stock—in other words, the classic flavors of bouillabaise. The crisp and tender chicken is served atop crushed little yukon gold potatoes sauteed with spinach, and lots of pan juices. | $15.95 |
| Seared Garlic Chicken with Goat Cheese, Capers, Spinach and Lima Beans - Juicy boneless chicken breast seared to a garlicky, crisp-skinned golden brown is paired with tender baby lima beans that have been quickly simmered with lots of fresh spinach leaves, a handful of capers and a splash of reduced chicken stock. The limas are ladled over steaming jasmine rice and the chicken set atop the beans with a dollop of warm goat cheese and a strewing of fried garlic bits. | $16.95 | Ricotta Tacos with Green Chiles, Capers and Spicy Tomatoes – A mixture of ricotta and goat cheese with green chiles and capers is rolled in fresh corn tortillas, crisped on the griddle and sauced with tomatoes cooked down with butter, white wine and fresh serrano chiles. Served on dressed cabbage and radishes as a fresh, crunchy counterpoint and creamy, smoky pinto beans. | $14.95 |
| Prime Coleman Strip Steak with Haystack Onions, Rosemary and Herb Butter – Coleman prime-grade strip steak from cattle raised naturally in the Colorado Rockies is as good as it gets, flavor-wise and health-wise. The meat is rubbed with coarse salt, peppercorns and rosemary, then grilled and served the way James Beard liked it—with a dollop of good herbed butter and a tangled stack of crispy fried onions. With mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. | $27.95 |
| Niman Ranch Pork Tenderloin with Jezebel Sauce - A truly superior-quality pork recognized by chefs all over the country, we are proud to serve our first Niman Ranch selection. Here the juicy tenderloin cutlets are seared and sauced with Jezebel, a classic Southern combination of peach preserves, mustard, horseradish and white pepper, which we hit with a shot of cream to form a silky, addictive, bold-flavored sauce that is perfect with pork. It's not spicy, but it is lively. And the pork is amazing. Served with mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables. | $19.95 |
| Spaghetti Carbonara – Steaming strands of spaghetti very lightly coated with tiny soft curds of egg and ricotta, accented with Nueske's smoked bacon, peas, black pepper and grana padano cheese. Served with warm toast. | $13.95 |

| 'Lark Burger – This Coleman hamburger is juicy, delicious and all about the beef. The secret ingredient is red wine, and what it does to a humble burger without overwhelming it is reason enough to open a restaurant. The alcohol is totally cooked out before wine meets beef. Served on a buttered, toasted bun with mustard-mayonnaise, cheddar and lettuce, with chips and homemade pickles along side. | $9.95 |
