• A weekly-changing Plowshare Farm Frittata presented in a large, cast-iron pan with baked egg, seasonal greens, and roasted fingerling potatoes, which can be prepared for one to three people ($32-35)

The new brunch entrees range from $14-$22:

• Soft Egg and Roasted Mushrooms with braised broccoli rabe and polenta
