Signature dishes
Beef Bib, Bim, Bop
Meat
Korean inspired, one of the chef’s favourite dishes from her time cooking in Seoul, this bowl features tender ribeye marinated in rich, savoury gochujang, served over crispy golden rice with a selection of house-pickled fermented vegetables. Finished with a perfectly soft-boiled egg and delicate salmon roe, it delivers layers of deep umami, subtle heat, bright acidity, and contrasting textures, creating a dish that is both comforting and deeply satisfying.
Island Surf 'n Turf
Seafood
Bahamas Inspired, drawing from her time as a yacht chef in the Bahamas, our Chef recalls receiving fresh stone crabs directly from harbor fishermen, cracking the claws on deck, and grilling steaks over an open flame as the sun set across the marina. This dish brings those memories to life with fresh cracked stone crab, coriander cocktail sauce, mustard aioli, Wagyu ribeye, grilled vegetables, and vibrant chimichurri sauce
Chicken Satay Fresh Spring roll
Meat
Vietnam Inspired, our Chef's interpretation of two beloved Southeast Asian favorites: chicken satay and fresh Vietnamese spring rolls. Inspired by the flavors she loves most from both dishes, this vibrant creation is filled with lemongrass chicken, mango, avocado, peppers, carrots, cabbage, fresh herbs, and rice noodles. Served with a rich peanut sauce and a side of authentic Nuoc Cham, prepared using a recipe passed down by her best friend's Vietnamese mother. Lemongrass Chicken Spring Roll Bowl – Lemongrass chicken, mango, avocado, peppers, carrots, cabbage, fresh herbs, rice noodles, peanut sauce, and traditional Nuoc Cham Vietnamese dipping sauce.
