What we are cooking, this week.
The kitchen runs from a Greek-Mediterranean playbook and a daily market list. Mezze are constants. The fish board changes with the tide. Lamb, vegetables, and a few cuts of beef cross the coals. Sweets come out of the kitchen each morning. Sit down hungry.
Sample menu. Items rotate with the season and the catch.
