Balance! It’s what we all want…
One of the trickiest things we do in the restaurant business is striking that right balance between offering you the familiar, comforting dishes that you crave from past experience, along with new creations from the artistic geniuses in the kitchen. Our Executive Chef Chris Carriker is a master at finding exactly that right balance.
Consider the Bluehour Steak Menu, which features a selection of five different cuts. Chef is even doing his take on a few Bluehour Classics such as your old favorite Salmon Tartare with Potato Gaufrettes, and “Salmon Giambalvo” with a horseradish crust, or even the Zefiro Caesar Salad for two.
Or be a little more adventuresome and let the Chef Chris and Sous Chef Tony Wilkie turn you on to something new, like the Dungeness Crab Tian with diablo sauce, winter radishes and watercress, or the Lobster Flint Corn Agnolotti with Sauce Americaine, chives, butter and pecorino. You can also give the chef’s a chance to blow your mind, and order the Chef’s Tasting Menu, for just $60 per person.
See the entire new Winter Dinner Menu below, and go to our website www.bluehouronline.com, to take a look at the Happy Bluehour menu, and the casual Cafe/Bar menu.
