Your Application for an Adventure @ 94

We are seeking those individuals who are ready to sit back, relax and enjoy.
Wear your favorite comfortable clothes, and be yourself.

Have you ever wanted to step from behind the curtains and
say "Ta Da!" Go ahead if it makes you feel good.
We never take life too seriously and look for the fun in everything we do.
Be careful though, long term exposure can be contagious.

We will always be honest with you.
At the same time we ask the same of you.
Don't like a dish? Let us know, right then.
There is little that can be done days later.
Just because the 100 people before you liked it doesn't mean you have to.
We understand that just like us you are someone who wants the best.

As a guest we can not control what each of you can say or do.
With a grin, scoldings will be handed out as needed.

You will not find a large multi-page menu with ingredients stored in deep freeze for months.
Fresh, Wild, Natural, Free Range and Organic are our standards.
We seek only the best quality from the most reliable sources.

Each preparation on the single page fresh sheet is unique.
Created just for that dish.
Each component is important and intended to be served together.
If you have specific dietary needs let your server know.
Or give them a list that the kitchen can create a custom dish around.
Please don't ask them to make your food boring. They may cry.

Do you love great cheese and wine?
We do too!
Each bottle on our menu is hand selected by Chef and guaranteed to be great.
Why would she want to buy bad wine, let alone drink it?
The cheese selection features only the best and is picked by the in house cheese steward.
Yes, of course, every one is his favorite.

Do you like magic?
Just as a good magician rarely shares their secrets,
Chef is less then likely to share hers.
Many dishes on the menu are one time creations with little
thought put into turning them into over-used recipes.
You may ask, but she'll most likely turn you down with a laugh.
Each experience should be unique and leave
you wondering what "secret" ingredient made it work so well.
If you ask me it was probably love, desire and a true commitment to each dish she presents.

Do you prefer your food prepared to show its best?
The kitchen serves each dish at its proper temperature to
bring out the flavor and texture that they want you to enjoy.
Salmon is wet, scallops seared "pert near raw"
(As Alton Brown says on a great Good Eats episode - Shell Game IV)
Steaks are tender and juicy
(not well done, but done well)
and pork can even be a little pink.

Did you hear? Fat is good!
The kitchen seeks the best cuts marbled and capped with fat.
The salmon is served with the omega3 rich skin.
It is, afterall, what adds that wonderful flavor.
And how can you say no to all natural?

Hopefully your mother said it first. "Never season your food before you try it" - it's our motto as well.
You will not find instruments to over season your food available on the table
nor will your server offer any.
Don't worry... the kitchen has already taken care of it for you as it should be.

Like to share?
We do too. Share plates appear as needed.
The kitchen serves dishes as they intend them to appear.
Want to share a soup?
Chef offers her daily creations by the cup or bowl.
Get your spoon and dive in!

After you dine do you like to stack your plates?
Please let us, as it is our job to take care of you.
No one wants you to feel rushed.
We will wait for everyone to finish, especially the ladies, before we whisk away your empty entree plates.
In a hurry, just let us know.
But why would you want to shorten your stay though?

Do you love dense rich, I'm on vacation, desserts?
Excellent, that's what Chef does!
No three tiered soft and cuddly pleasure palaces here.
Each days creations are different and you never know if or when she'll recreate that last masterpiece.
Sorry these are not available whole.
We'd be happy to point it towards some great local bakeries.

How much staff is too much?
We are in the firm belief less is more.
Your server should be just that; Yours.
Runner? Drinks? Assistant? Order Taker? Who's taking care of me?
They don't use scripts. They are never fake happy or pretend smiley.
There are already too many places like that.
We have a small team who works hard and even will come in on their days off in a pinch to make sure you have the best experience.

Can you color?
We haven't even forgotten the inner child. You will find crayons and paper on every table.
No, these are not for the kids, but the well behaved are welcome to join in.
Remember to stay in the lines...

Restaurants should do what they are good at. Making food,
not advertising. We focus on the ingredients, not our next television ad.

Don't worry, if you are out of line, we will let you know.

We are your family for the many pleasures of food and drink.

Apply in person anytime we are open Tuesday - Sunday.

Remember, you have to step through the door as we don't serve on the sidewalk.
