Main Courses
Strip Steak with Haystack Onions, Rosemary and Herb Butter
We cut our strip steaks in-house the traditional way, leaving the outer edge rimmed with a bit of the fat cap. If you would like us to trim it fat-free, just let us know. The meat is rubbed with coarse salt, black pepper and rosemary, then grilled and served the way James Beard liked it—with a dollop of herbed butter and a tangle of crispy fried onions. Served with our buttermilk mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.
$38
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 along with lemon-scallion rice and creamy, smoky pinto beans.

Filet Mignon with Worcestershire Butter
Dave’s signature steak butter made, with his homemade Worcestershire sauce, is the perfect compliment for lean and tender beef tenderloin. The meat is grilled, rested, and when plated, spatched with a big pat of the softened butter. Served with crispy Yukon Gold potatoes and sauteed broccolini.
$38
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 our buttermilk mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.
$30
Chicken Marbella
A classic New York roast chicken recipe, and just as good as it was when it took the Upper West Side by storm in the 1980's. Superior quality chicken thighs are marinated in oil and vinegar along with capers, garlic, olives and prunes, then dusted with brown sugar and braised in white wine for an irresistible salty-sweet flavor. Served with the pan juices, mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables.
$30
Seared Garlic Chicken with Goat Cheese, Capers, Spinach and Lima Beans
Boneless, skin-on 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 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.
$30
Spaghetti Carbonara
Steaming strands of spaghetti very lightly coated with tiny soft curds of egg and ricotta, liberally accented with Nueske’s smoked bacon, peas, black pepper and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Served with warm toast.
