Just in time for summer, Chef Jullian’s new menu features bright dishes such as:

  • Watermelon Salad | with Chamoy, Goat Cheese, Fresh Mint, Tajin, and Pepitas
  • Rotating Ceviche | with Lime juice, Pickled Sweet Peppers, Fresh Herbs, Escabeche, and Chips
  • Local Catch | with Plancha Grilled Whole Filets, Roasted Poblano Chili Rajas, and Creamed Corn
