Seasonal salads like Chicories & Seaweeds comes with avocado, hazelnut, and miso-honey dressing. Heartier plates bring Winter Squash Peanut Curry with coconut rice, scallion oil, curry leaf; Half Chicken with napa cabbage and kohlrabi slaw; and Poached Swordfish with black-eyed peas, sorghum, kale, and cream; among others.
