Chef Swan takes the traditional steakhouse to the next level with offerings such as Classic French Onion Soup with three types of onion, sherry, brioche crouton, gruyere and provolone; Roasted Beets & Burrata with prosciutto, toasted pistachios and arugula; and Sweet & Sticky Lamb Ribs with honey, mint, garlic and lemon as starters. In addition to signature steaks, highlighted entrees include Colorado Lamb T-Bone with chimichurri; a chili-rubbed Smoked Kurobuta Pork Chop; Maine Lobster with Sweet Potato Gnocchi with spaghetti squash, spinach and shellfish butter; and a Slow-Braised Prime Short Rib with parsnip puree, roasted Brussels sprouts and crispy shallots. Sides include Hawthorn Grill’s Mojito Fries, Thick Cut Onion Rings, Cauliflower Gratin and Home-Style Mac and Cheese.
Guests can also indulge their sweet side with a mouth-watering dessert from Chef Choo. Sure to be popular with all palettes are the S’mores Churro with warm ganache, cinnamon sugar churros and toasted marshmallow; the Apple Tart Tatin with candied almonds and salted caramel sauce, served with vanilla bean ice cream; and the traditional Hawthorn Soufflé served with crème Anglaise and whipped cream .
