 Filled with inspiration, the chefs are now back in their restaurant kitchens cooking and creating. Together with their teams they have have been testing out unique specials and working with fresh ingredients in a whole new way as they prepare for the seasonal menu changes in the fall. Guests can expect to find a variety of new items this coming season inspired by the chef’s New York trip. Some new items may included unique appetizers and more sharing plates, flavorful vegan dishes and upbeat nightly specials.
