For the nutrition-conscious, we even feature a special new dessert inspired by the Ambassador of Eternal Youth, timeless Suzanne Somers. Using Somersweet, her unique blend of guilt-free natural sweet fibers, we have created a sponge cake that is soaked in a passion fruit broth as well as rum ice cream, and cover it with tropical fruits. We congratulate Ms. Somers for being nominated by the Women’s International Center to receive a Living Legacy Award for her health-conscious work, and we honor her with our own culinary signature by featuring this special dessert on our menu.

If you decide to venture onto the a la carte menu, indulge yourself with wild boar paté, Burgundy escargots, or hickory house smoked salmon. For the main courses, you will discover an original caesar salad, maine lobster raviolis, roasted half duck with orange zest sauce, and the chef is always open to special requests for specific vegetarian or diet-specific entrées.
