We made some changes, added Plancha section to the menu and are serviing an amuse of pickeled baby vegetables at lunch. We added side to go with the fish and a trio of sauces/dips and relish. Randy is making a couple of breads and spinning all ice creams and sorbet again. We added smoked butter to go along with the regular butter. Changed quite a few item on the menu.
