It's back this summer and North Square is all in. Chef Yoel Cruz has delivered again this year with two separate menus for each week of the promotion.
What will you get? A three course price-fixe meal for $45, that's what. (For this food? It's a steal.) Chef Cruz will be making this menu available, along with his regular fare, Monday through Friday for both weeks.
Check it out:
From July 22nd to July 26th, you have your choice of appetizers between a soup of the day or Mizuna Salad with cherry tomatoes, burrata cheese and sunflower seeds in an anchovy vinaigrette. Plus tuna tartare with ginger cured vegetables, avocado, soy and citrus. Main course offerings are a Chermoula marinated striped bass in a fire-roasted red pepper sauce with summer veggies and farro succotash. Or a marinated bottom sirloin steak in a red wine au jus with ramp mashed potatoes and haricots verts. Vegans will flip over a Thai curry eggplant with sugar snap peas, haricot verts, cherry tomatoes, peppers, bamboo shoots and green peppercorn with a coconut jasmine rice. Dessert brings a flourless pistachio chocolate cake with pistachio gelato, roasted strawberry key lime pie with Chantilly cream, fresh berries and a raspberry Chambord sauce, or a vegan, gluten-free rhubarb and strawberry crisp, complete with GF gelato.
For the second week, July 29th through the August 2nd, appetizers will include a soup of the day, plus radicchio and Boston lettuce salad with roasted beets, bocconcini cheese and pecans in a sherry vinaigrette. Plus a crab cake in a Thai curry sauce with papaya salad. Mains are a marinated, grilled hanger steak in a red wine sauce with grilled vegetables and a basil falafel, or coriander-crusted salmon with Wakame rice and shiitake mushrooms in a citrus soy sauce. Plus that yummy vegan Thai curry. And for dessert? A sour cream cheesecake with a bing cherry compote with whipped cream and candied almonds, a chocolate mousse cake with caramel and chocolate sauces topped with a chocolate pecan heath bar and chocolate gelato. (You CANNOT have too much chocolate--it's a proven fact.) Plus that vegan, GF rhubarb and strawberry crisp.
We love that Chef Cruz mixes it up a little, because, to us, variety is everything.
Pescatarians, carnivores, vegans....he's got you all covered. Head here to make a reservation.
