Behemoth Oyster, aguachile, wampee, and kumquat puree.
Early summer at the rooftop garden.
Early spring mornings begin with a cycle of harvesting the daily flush of rosebuds. This brief, seasonal window secures our production for the year ahead, transforming the blossoms into house-made oils, syrups, and vinegars to carry through the upcoming menus.
Willapa Bay Behemoth oysters, quickly brined in ice water and returned to the shell.
Suspended in a "seawater" of clarified tomato, mussel stock, and citrus zest, and served alongside a dipping sauce of kumquat juice, sea lettuce oil, and fresh wasabi.

Behemoth oysters from Willapa Bay, Washington. True to their name, they are exceptionally large and meaty, carrying a crisp sweetness reminiscent of cucumber with a clean, understated brine.
Their scale and texture make them incredibly versatile—ready for the grill, smoker, or the plancha.
