Velvety and rich, with the warmth of crème fraîche, a touch of Piment d’Espelette, and toasted pepitas for a little crunch!

Meet your new autumn favorite.

This seasonal cocktail combines gin with our housemade sweet potato purée, vanilla maple, fresh lemon and egg white for a smooth, silky sip that balances warm fall flavors with a bright citrus finish.

Finished with a delicate dusting of nutmeg, it’s a cozy taste of the season, crafted to be enjoyed one sip at a time.

Come in and try it on our new autumn cocktail menu.

Dropped yesterday, our new Autumn menu is filled with seasonal ingredients, comforting flavors, and a few dishes we think will become new favorites.

One dish that already stole the show? Our Waldorf Salad.

Chef’s inspiration came from a more personal place — his father’s favorite salad. Our take features local apples, grapes, celery, and toasted walnuts, all tossed in a house-made green goddess dressing.

It’s a beautiful reminder that some of the best dishes come from the memories and traditions we carry with us.

Come experience the new Autumn menu at Tallgrass and discover your new favorite.

Scenes from the pass this weekend: Our Pekin Duck breast with braised endive, local polenta, and cherry port sauce alongside our Wagyu Flat Iron with caramelized cauliflower puree, blistered shish*tos, potato pave, and au Poivre sauce.

The devil is in the details. A close-up look at the precision and layers before the final plate-up.

Finishing strong with our new Apple Pie Mille-Feuille. Layers of crisp pastry and local flavors.

Come see us tonight from 5–10 PM and try our special cocktail of the evening.

The Melon Marg — tequila, fresh lime, agave, and orange liqueur, topped with a house-made sugar cube of melon sorbet that slowly melts into the cocktail.

Bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced, with a sweet melon finish. The perfect cocktail to enjoy as we wrap up the summer season.

Join us tonight for dinner, drinks, and a little something delicious made only here at Tallgrass!

This week’s seasonal catch: wild-caught Seremoni Sablefish, also known as Black Cod

Harvested using the traditional Ike Jime method, this fish offers an incredibly pristine texture and clean flavor. We’re serving it over a sweet corn maque choux featuring local mickklugfarms corn, charred red Napa cabbage, and a smooth zucchini purée.

To bring it all together, we finish the plate with a zero-waste smoky tomato fumet made in-house using the fish bones, bonito, and local late summer tomatoes.

Available this weekend while supplies last!
