Sweet Chili Glazed Prawns – This week we are going East with an Asian inspired dish of skewered and grilled Asian White Prawns brushed with Sweet Chili, served over Pan Rice with Snap Peas, Roasted Red Bell Peppers & Green Onion,grilled fresh Pineapple and Mandarin Pickled Onion Slaw

Fresh Ora King Salmon Cedar Plank Roasted—a classic! Topped with fresh Blueberry Orange Gastrique, served over Lemon Ginger Risotto with hand cut Spring Baby Carrots & fresh Asparagus. Served Nightly (4pm-9pm) while supplies last.

Fun Food Fact: Unlike other rice that is left in a pan of water to boil, Aborio Rice (risotto) requires constant attention to ensure a perfectly finished dish. We at Pogacha have actually taught the skill of making perfect risotto at a cooking demonstration back in 1988 (at the Bon Marche)! Three hours of constant stirring, adding liquid and teaching … a delicious labor of love 🙂

Fresh Alaskan Halibut with Butterfly Pea Blossom Fettuccine: Our Fresh Halibut is Pan Seared, served over House Made Fresh Fettuccine done in a Butterfly Pea Blossom Sauce with Grilled Lemon. White Wine & Butter with Grape Tomatoes.

Served Nightly (4-9pm) while supplies last.

Fun Food Fact: The vibrant blue petals of the butterfly pea plant are rich in antho-cyanins, the same polyphenol compounds found in blueberries. An intensely pigmented plant is often a cue of the beneficial phytonutrients inside and boasts brain health stress relief, anti-inflammation, increased vitality and rejuvenated skin.

Always a favorite! Fresh Chicken Breast rolled in Pogacha Bread Crumbs, Pan Seared then oven baked with our Classic Eight Hour Red Sauce. Served over house made Casarecci Pasta in Fresh Herb Butter, topped with Parmigiano Reggiano–served with sauteed fresh Green Beans

Peri Peri Chicken is a renowned dish known for its bold, vibrant, and extremely spicy flavor. Our version still uses those vibrant chilis but you will find it a little less spicy than the traditional!
