Caesar Salad with Prawns
$20.00
Crisp romaine with anchovy dressing, Parmesan, and sweet Bay Area prawns.

Lamb Salad Bowl
$15.00
Slow-roasted lamb over crisp kale and lettuce with fresh vegetables and harissa yogurt.

Organic Greens
$8.00
Mixed seasonal salad with simple vinaigrette.
Tip: Start with greens if your table hasn't eaten yet — it's light and preps your palate for the richer dishes.
