The menu will change seasonally, though you will find weekly and daily specials inspired from Chef Philippe’s visits to the local farmers markets and highlighting organic ingredients from local farms.
The menu offers a nice selection of small plates that can be shared or combined to create your own “tasting menu” and should be perfect for those planning to catch a movie at the Harvard Exit theater across the street.
