Spicy Dijon Mussels arrive briny in a Dijon cream, with fries for dipping delivering crunch that snaps with every bite. Bang Bang Sandwich packs fried chicken, housemade aioli, and spicy slaw on challah; hot sauce and honey nudges elevate the heat. Crab Toasts showcase Maine crab meat on baguette with garlicky peas and aioli for a bright, coastal bite.
