The menu changes with the seasons, tying in with holidays and other calendar highlights. However, there are a few staples like the tart cherry pie ($45), which the chef says will, ‘take your expectations from here on out to another level’. Created with a flakey, all-butter pie crust, tart Morello cherries, and a hint of almond, this one is hard to say no to. You’ll also find a reinvention of the humble cookie tin ($45) which includes a variety of cake-like slices such as the raspberry jam bar, milk chocolate cream cheese swirl brownie, and snickerdoodle cookie. The best-seller? It’s got the be an all-American apple pie, which uses no fewer than 10 varieties of apples from local suppliers.
