Monkfish, Flat Iron Steak, and a variety of snacks and sides are featured on the dinner menu, alongside a Black Forest Gateau or Pineapple Cheesecake for dessert.
Brunch is a must-do at the venue, with options including a unique sharing continental breakfast for two, The Tartuffe Steak, Rice Pudding, and Steak and Eggs. Two incredible Belgian waffle dishes also feature on the menu, with either Black Forest winter berry compote or buttermilk fried chicken as toppings.
