Pork Jezebel
It’s back, and better than ever. Slices of pork tenderloin are gently pounded into cutlets, salt and peppered, and seared on the hot griddle, then plated and spooned with our version of jezebel sauce, the tastiest thing in the world. In Texas, jezebel is peach jam spiked with horseradish and mustard. They pour it over a block of cream cheese and serve it with crackers. Here we add a glug of heavy cream to our homemade fresh peach jezebel, and in a few minutes on the stove it becomes a warm and heavenly sauce for pork. Served with buttermilk mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.

Grilled Bread with Cheese Fondue and Asparagus
Fondue and asparagus are paired in the springtime all through the Alpine regions of Europe, especially Germany, Switzerland and France. The traditional fondue made with cave-aged Gruyere cheese and white wine is ladled over the thick-cut grilled bread and strewn with raw asparagus, sliced very thin like scallions. The richness of the cheese, the crunch of the bread and the sweet snap of the asparagus makes a delightful combination.

Crabbier Crab Spaghetti
Our crab spaghetti is highly anticipated each spring, and last year we had an epiphany that boils down to two words: MORE CRAB. So, in addition to a quarter pound of claw meat, we are adding more than 2 oz. of super lump (a half cup) and believe me, the difference is worth the extra 5 bucks we had to add to the price tag. Hot spaghetti tossed with all that crab, lots of lemon, a splash of cream and a liberal sprinkling of fresh herbs is just what to order when you want lots of flavor, but nothing heavy.
Full Order $30

Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Charred Scallion Hollandaise
I love hollandaise sauce. Especially when it is ramped up with lots of fresh lemon juice, a big dash of hot sauce, and chopped scallions that have been cooked to charred goodness on the grill. THIS is a sauce born to go with beef. The meat is seasoned with coarse salt and a grinding of pepper, grilled, rested, and when plated, a cloak of this heavenly sauce takes it to new heights. Served with crispy Yukon potatoes and sauteed broccolini.

Pan-fried Walleye
Fresh out of Northern Lake Erie, walleye is Ohio’s favorite dinner fish. And no wonder—mild and sweet with a delicate texture, I can hear it sizzling in frying pans all over the state. Here the fish is rolled in cornmeal, fried crispy and served with celery sauce, a creamy, Southern-style tartar sauce flavored with minced celery, celery seed, green onion and lemon. Add buttermilk mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables and you’ve got Midwestern eating at its best.
