Small Plates of the Pacific Northwest

with Stu Stein

Sharing food has always been a cornerstone of great hospitality. The breaking and sharing of bread leads to the pouring of wine, the passing of comfort foods, and the exchange of warm conversation. And in our modern-day American culture, the idea of serving smaller portions appeals to almost every generation and anyone who wants a more adventuresome dining experience with a touch of this and a taste of that.

These dishes are small, but the flavors are decidedly large. The food and wine are developed to compliment, support, and basically yearn for each other. Stu puts faith in fundamental virtues: freshness, the pureness of flavors, and the skill with which it's cooked. His cuisine features both contrasting and complimentary flavors and the brilliant tastes of fresh, sustainable, seasonal ingredients from local purveyors.
