Seasonal sensations on the Citizen Cake Savory menu!

Seasonal sensations on the Citizen Cake Savory menu!



If you haven't been to our restaurant lately~you don't know what you've been missing. Let me tell you how GREAT my most recent visit was:

I was torn between so many starters that I couldn't decide: so one of my dining partners and I decided to pretty much order the whole list and make a meal of those. What a great idea. There were light, refreshing dishes that just amazed and delighted us: Frisee-apricot salad with pistachio and fromage blanc; romaine & radicchio with avocado and radish; hamachi sashimi with melon; heirloom salad (YAY tomato season!) with feta and basil; and an interesting and yummy pea shoot saute with cippolini and mint. Everything was balanced to perfection and a textural delight.



However: the entrees were not to be ignored...I was lucky enough to try my other friend's braised short rib dish with slaw and peanuts in a tamarind glaze--wow I could have had that for dessert...

And then there was dessert: Berry Items, stone fruit sautes and the must-have s'moore brownie.

Too much of everything was just enough! Can't wait to go back!
