Starters

Soup of the Day
$4.00
There's nothing like a hot cup of soup to prepare you for your meal.  Ask what we've made up for tonight.
Garden Salad
$5.00
Fresh greens and other seasonal veggies with choice of kitchenmade dressing - Back Bay Sherry Vinaigrette, Buttermilk Ranch or Real Blue Cheese

Mains

8 oz. Filet Mignon
$20.00
An 8 oz. filet (cut by our friends at Acre Station Meat Farm, of course) is grilled to order. Please don’t ask for these beautiful, juicy filets to be cooked “well-done”. Many of our guests say this is the best steak they’ve ever eaten. Served with oven-roasted potatoes.
Chicken Peperonata
$15.00
Peperonata is Italian for stewed peppers, here a mix of bell peppers and sweet-spicy Peppadews. A boneless chicken breast is roasted with the peppers and tomatoes, garlic and fennel. Served with oven-roasted potatoes.
Pork Pot Roast with Apricots, Cardamom & Ginger
$16.00
We love the combination of pork and fruit with exotic spices. Here pork (from Acre Station, of course) is treated to the whole sweet-tart-savory combination until it's fork tender and tastes just as good as it smells.
Stuffed Manicotti
$12.00
These kitchen-made crepes are rolled and stuffed with three cheeses - Parmesano Reggiano, Ricotta and Mozzarella. Topped with Chef Yvonne's fabulous Primavera Sauce (vegetarian) or Meat Sauce (with spicy Italian sausage).

Sides

Our menu is a la carte, so you can eat as much or as little as you like. Our Mains are all served with a small accompaniment, but if you'd like more you can add one or both of the Sides we've indicated on the Dinner Specials menu.
