Make a reservation for an unforgettable taste of flavors that capture the essence of summer.

Our Braised Citrus-Honey Heirloom Carrots are delightful yet simple and tossed in a blend of lemon, lime, and orange juices, infused with the sweetness of Beyla honey and the aromatic touch of fresh thyme. Our Roast Zucchini with Minted Garlic Goat Cheese is sure to become a guest favorite this summer. Pan-roasted fresh zucchini takes center stage, served atop a luscious spread of minted garlic goat cheese, adorned with hand-torn mint leaves, and garnished with a crunchy mix of toasted pumpkin seeds, hazelnuts, and cashews. 

For those seeking a light and savory side, our Wilted Summer Greens are the ideal choice. This dish combines lightly sautéed Swiss chard, green and purple kale, savoy cabbage, and Bok choy, tossed in a wild Maine blueberry balsamic vinaigrette made from our partnership with the Merrill family, who have been farming wild blueberries for four generations. Another summer crop list made with fruits of the season features farmstand peaches sourced from Texas to Pennsylvania farmers. Indulge in our Prosecco Farmstand Peach Salad, a vibrant medley of fresh peaches, heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, julienned red onion, and hand-torn basil and mint, all tossed in a refreshing light prosecco vinaigrette. 

Another new creation, our Spaghetti Squash Stracciatella, features house-roasted spaghetti squash topped with a delightful sweet and sour tomato relish and creamy stracciatella cheese. A drizzle of balsamic glaze and a sprinkle of sea salt add the perfect finishing touches. 

For a comforting summer dish, savor the Warm Summer Squash & White Bean Salad. It combines sautéed yellow summer squash with a medley of zucchini, eggplant, roma tomatoes, yellow onions, garlic, white cannellini beans, and hand-torn fresh basil. Topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese, this dish is a true delight. Don’t miss our southern summer classic with our Fried Okra. Chopped into bite-sized pieces, lightly breaded, and fried with basil and parsley, our okra is served with two distinct dipping flavors—spicy mayo and tartar sauce—for a truly satisfying indulgence. 

For a garden-inspired twist on a classic, try our Pickled Veggie Potato Salad. Chopped Yukon potatoes are tossed with lightly pickled red onion, cauliflower, broccolini, Brussels sprouts, and celery, creating a refreshing and tangy combination.
