The Caesar Salad
Our caesar salad has a sacred lineage. The original recipe from caesar cardini's restaurant in tijuana a travelled to arnaud's in the twenties. Sean was trained in its preparation at arnaud's before opening the bistro. For a mick, like sean, the sacrilege of changing our caesar is too daunting. But for a few bucks (5) and a risk to your mortal soul you are free to meddle.
Bella Roma Tomato Salad
Heritage plum tomatoes, warmed with an herbed vinaigrette. Garnished with baby greens, herb toast and parmesan crisp.
Lobstercargots
Lush chunks of florida spiny lobster (instead of the chewy little slugs). Slow cooked in a crock with herbed spinach and seasoned garlic butter. A bistro original. Often imitated. But then imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
