In collaboration with Lagasse, Chef de Cuisine Anthony Scanio celebrates the local bounty of Louisiana with seasonally-inspired new creations. For starters, Roasted Beet Salad - young arugula, Louisiana citrus, spiced walnuts and crème fraiche; Fried Oyster Bordelaise with fresh fettuccine, sun dried tomatoes, Parmesan and garlic butter and Sweet Basil Gnocchi with Italian sausage, artichoke, Pecorino, lemon and oregano breadcrumbs. Fan favorites still remain on the menu such as the house-cured charcuterie, now an even more expansive display.

Additional delights include Gulf Shrimp Étouffée with crisp eggplant and jollof rice; Panéed Swordfish, accompanied by butternut squash and pistachio risotto, finished with a satsuma vinaigrette and Chicken Breast Clemenceau with ham, Portobello mushrooms, sugar snap peas, Brabant potatoes and a béarnaise sauce. Friday lunch boasts tasty new offerings as well, including Buttermilk Fried Chicken Breast with braised collard greens, yams and pepper jelly; 8 oz. Hanger Steak served with red wine chimichurri and a Dry Aged Beef Chorizo Po-Boy.
To complement the new fare, guests can sip on a bevy of creative new cocktails such as the Pumpkin Hot Buttered Rum - Louisiana-distilled 13 Pennies praline rum, organic pumpkin butter, nutmeg and cinnamon; Strawberry Rhubarb Martini - Moon Mountain infused vodka, house-made strawberry rhubarb syrup, fresh mint and Prosecco Gin & Juice -Tanqueray old tom gin, pomegranate, sweet vermouth, lemon juice, and cardamom bitters; and Bitter In The Rye - Fernet Branca, sazerac rye, aperol and fresh mint.
