is part of this year, and I have to say, I really enjoyed everything I tried. Everything was seasoned perfectly and if you're on, I would check them out. Here's the detail:

January 21st to February 8th
DINNER DINE OUT MENU | $60 per person

Appetizer (Choose One)
- Butternut Squash Soup
- B House Salad

Entrees (Choose One)
- Duck Confit
- Slow Braised Lamb Shank
- Stuffed Wild Sockeye Salmon
- Vegan Organic Tofu with Thai Red Curry

Desserts
- Sweet Triple

If I were to choose, I would go with the butternut squash soup as it has to be probably the best I've had. Their duck confit won my heart with the perfectly cooked duck and the potatoes were amazing. And the sweet triple has to be the perfect way to end your meals.

Both of the appetizers were fantastic! I really enjoyed the Wagyu with the tonnato mayo and the arancini was just perfection. For mains, I would say all 3 of them were solid choices. If you love tender beef, go with the short rib. If you love fresh pasta, the pancheri is a great choice. And if you love something sweet, go with the squash risotto. For dessert, the olive oil cake was my winner. The chocolate Marquis is also really good - it is on the richer side, and if you love chocolate, you will definitely love this!
