Also on the menu: Spaghetti and Hearty Sausage Bolognese, and the Bloom Cajun Rubbed Grilled Chicken and Buttermilk Waffle. For dessert, there’ll be Dad’s Doughnuts with spiced chocolate, caramel sauces and bourbon, and Orange Panna Cotta with cherry.
Dad can pair the hearty dishes with Father’s Day-exclusive cocktails, like the Who’s Your Daddy (Havana 3, Aperol, Grapefruit, Passion Fruit, $120). We love the family-friendly chilled out vibe and New York-style interior here, too.
