21, March 2009… It’s spring now and we started into new menu items this weekend. Saturday morning Cody, Peter and I ran down to the eastside farmer’s market and found some really great stuff, local strawberries, rainbow chard, radishes, napoli carrots, sylvetta arugula etc. Along with our market finds we have started to recieve some amazing produce and halibut from our friends at pierless fish, mikuni, and the chef’s garden. Here are some new spring dishes you can find on the menu and a few off menu items from the weekend.
