Little Gems Salad with Crispy Oysters
Composed of bittersweet greens, delicate sweet-yet-spicy watermelon radish, incredibly rich local bacon, hunks of sharp bleu cheese, and dressed lightly with vinaigrette… this salad was the perfect balance of refreshing crispy greens and hearty, satisfyingly rich proteins. Love it.

Gaucamole
Thankfully, this time the guac had plenty of avocado with a nice chunky consistency and only a touch of diced tomatoes. On our last visit, there was an over-abundance of diced (unripe) tomatoes causing a bland, watered down guacamole.
