The seasonally changing menu here highlights fresh ingredients and features innovative tuna, salmon, and beef dishes, but the signature dish is rack of lamb. Top it all off with the homemade white chocolate ice cream with roasted macadamia nuts on purees of passion fruit and raspberry.

The menu changes often, but you can count on wheatberry and other interesting breads, inventive salads, and daily specials like spinach lasagna and Caesar salad. Dessert is key: try the Five Chocolate Cake, a white-chocolate cheesecake topped with three chocolate layers, wrapped in chocolate fondant.
