Signature crafted Cocktail and Mocktail - Serrano Chile Passion Fruit Margaritas Casa Madero wines and Mexican beers Casa Madero, the oldest vineyard in ALL of the Americas, was founded in 1597 in Coahuila, with grapes grown at high elevation in a desert climate. Chef loves their Chardonnay, which is aged in concrete, and thus brighter with more fruit character than a typical buttery California chardonnay. He will also serve their red blend of Tempranillo, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon, with a nice, fruity complexity with a hint of spice, and a very smooth finish.
A sumptuous charcuterie spread to start, with grilled pineapple conch salad and a grouper ceviche marinated in a rich coconut “leche de tigre.”
Guppies! Alligator hush puppies with blackened remoulade.
A chilled soup of sweet tropical fruits, melons, and stonefruit…complex with savory shallots, sweet and zesty peppers, and rich with Texas olive oil. This silky, smooth soup provides a backdrop for butter-poached slippertail lobster. Housemade Johnnycakes are offered up on the side.
Since our soup is cold, our salad will be warm! Crunchy seared chayote squash takes center stage, along with spring veggies and a bright, citrusy dressing.
A dish whose color references the Mexican flag, this is a charred poblano chile, generously stuffed with Beeman Ranch certified Wagyu beef in a flavorful picadillo, enveloped in a rich walnut sauce and garnished with bright pomegranate arils, and served alongside Tata’s Rice.
Chef’s famous pumpkin carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and hazelnuts candied in salted caramel brulee. (Much-loved by Gordon Ramsay.) Key lime pie. Cajeta flan. Also on offer is a Mexican coffee with a hint of cinnamon and VERY lightly sweetened… just enough to let the cinnamon dance on the forward palate.
