This week at DOC we’re holding onto summer with delicious antipasti like albacore with tomato, poncha bean and wild plum; cool melon with lemon cucumber, olive, ricotta and chili; and earthy, flavorful beets with torpedo onion, tarragon, feta and walnut. King salmon continues to please. Ours is served with corn, padron and cherry tomato. Mushrooms have also arrived.Try this week’s risotto featuring chicken of the woods, red pepper and onion blossom. Later this week look out for chanterelles paired with bok choy, huckleberries and succulent, fresh pork from Square Peg Farm. Also on the horizon for the weekend are flat iron steak and rabbit antipasti. Wine, cocktails and beautiful desserts are in abundance as always.

Summer is all about delicious, fresh flavors and this week at DOC won’t disappoint. We’ve got a large selection of antipasti including Chelsea Gem oysters in a fennel and grapefruit mignonette; Dungeness crab with cantaloupe and lemon; plus squid; beets; and brand new this week, braised pork belly, crisped and served with grilled watermelon, aged balsamic and toasted hazelnuts. Try the risotto with sweet cherry tomatoes, garlic and chives; or the cavatelli with kale, hazelnuts and best-of-the-season chanterelles – small, dry and full of flavor. Pig from Square Peg Farm has been brining all week so look for a new pork dish on the secondi menu along with King salmon, cauliflower, sugar snap peas and radicchio. The desserts have been heavenly all summer long.
