Lunch is back at the vegetable-forward eatery from Michelin-starred chef Alain Verzeroli. The new menu, created by Verzeroli alongside chef de cuisine Seth Blumenthal, is offered Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. and includes an à la carte menu as well a three-course prix-fixe meal for $40 per person. That means you can try new dishes like red kabocha burrata with Honeycrisp apples and marcona gremolata ($22); sunchoke velouté and chips with sautéed chanterelles and chervil ($16); butternut-squash quiche with smoked gouda and rainbow chard ($20); and farro risotto with parsnip and mushroom ragout, hazelnuts and fines herbes ($22). Shelling out for the prix fixe entitles you to a starter, an entrée, and a dessert.
