Late Summer · the week of Sept 15

The menu is whatever's ready.

— written fresh, most mornings

A Pacific kitchen that cooks around the harvest and the tide. What's below is true today; by next month, half of it will have changed.

A bright still life of late summer produce: heirloom tomatoes, corn, stone fruit and herbs peak tomatoes right now
Septthis week's notes

Late summer is the loud part of the year: tomatoes at their peak, the last of the stone fruit, corn, and the first winter squash sneaking in.

We're cooking almost everything over the fire right now — it suits vegetables at this time of year better than anything. The fish is whatever came in that morning; ask your server what it is. In a few weeks the tomatoes go, the squash takes over, and this whole page will read differently.

P.S. the fig-leaf ice cream is back — get it while the leaves are still on the tree.
The signature

The season, right now.

Pick what's in season and see where it lands on tonight's menu — where it came from, how we're cooking it, and what to drink with it.

In season this week

Farms and boats named here are fictional demonstration suppliers. What's listed reflects "late summer" for the concept — a real build would update this as the season turns.

The kitchen

Mostly cooked over fire.

An open kitchen built around a wood hearth and a garden out the back door. We lean on fire because it does the most for vegetables at their peak — a little char, a little smoke, and otherwise leave them alone.

The bread is ours, the ferments are ours, and the menu is short because it has to be: we only cook what's good this week.

To drink

Low, bright, seasonal.

A living wine list that leans natural and high-acid, plus non-alcoholic pairings made with the same fruit and herbs as the kitchen.

The table

Come sit at the table.

We're a small room and mostly reservations — book ahead through our partner. A few counter seats by the kitchen are held for walk-ins each night, if you'd rather watch the fire.

Booking opens our reservation partner (Tock / Resy-style) in a new tab.

Ask us about the producer dinners — a farm or a boat, a set menu, one long table.
