From The West Coast Grill

This menu is inspired by the great tastes of our Central Coast and gives a nod to some legendary recipes and locales. I’ll stack my Tri Tip up against anyone’s and the addition of house Salsa Cruda, a secret recipe from scratch, sets the tone for the whole presentation. If you want a taste of California this is it.

Tales Of The Bay

These selections cover the numerous cultures that made the California Coast what it is in a culinary sense. Flavors from Italy, Spain, Mexico, and even Portugal influence these plates with a solid nod to good ‘ol fashioned Americana. This menu is perfect for a balmy evening by the coast.

Road To The Valle

The Valle in Baja Sur, is just alive right now with an array culinary experiences outside the realm of what is normally considered rustic Mexican fare. I’ve been fortunate enough to spend time in the region and meet some amazing Chefs. This menu takes the freshness and cultural liveliness going on there right now and brings it to your table. I also get top notch sustainable fish from off Isla Todos Santos.

Tacos Estilo Alta Baja

The classic “Street Taco” has its own California version, one that captures the spectrum of Latino cultures that all made their way here. It’s a thing. Mine is solid and the house made salsas are plenty serious. Masa for fresh tortillas from Lola's Market in Healdsburg is, simply put, just divine. All ingredients served family style with tortillas handmade to order.

All Things Brunch

I like how the Greeks do breakfast, they cover a lot of ground. If you’ve ever spent a lazy day on Santorini or Corfu sipping Retsina (the local dry, white wine) and snacking you’ll know what I’m talking about. It always consists of fresh presentations geared towards the tourists with enough of a local touch to remind everyone where they are. Mine is akin to that with my own West Coast twist, featuring an amazing variety of flavors to entice your palate and spirit. It does not disappoint and will get your day off to a fine start. This is just a sample, I love making an amazing brunch and have lots of favorite dishes to share.
