The Food and Menus

Chef Richard Erickson has been cooking with fresh local produce since he was chef at Metropolis Cafe on Union Square in NYC next to the Farmer’s Market. As a member of Oldways he continues to support local farmers and delights diners with menus that feature local, organic and farm raised produce, poultry, eggs and dairy. His distinctive Mediterranean cuisine features dishes from Italy, Spain, France, Greece and Morocco - countries where the traditions of family and food combine to make every meal a celebration.

The Mediterranean diet is often referred to as the “gold standard” for healthy eating. This is why we’re committed to serving fresh, clean, tasty food that is professionally prepared and attractively presented. This is our pledge to each and every one of our clients. Guaranteed!!
