Everything on the menu here is absolutely amazing, from the wild salmon to the locally-sourced sirloin… but there’s one menu item that’s so unique and creative that you’ll definitely want to include it in your order.

The Dungeness crab cheesecake on the Small Plate Menu is unlike anything you’ve ever tried. Tender Dungeness crab is folded right into the cheesecake, which sits on a pecan crust. It’s then covered in a wild mushroom meunière sauce that will make your mouth melt. Choose it as a starter, or pair it with other small plates for a meal.
