First time customers
sometimes call and ask "What kind of food does
211 York
serve?"
The best answer is Chef Papa's personal creed: classically prepared and well-executed dishes,
influenced - just like America - by the best of cuisines from around the world: Asian,
French, Middle Eastern, Italian, Russian.
He has created a menu that offers broad appeal, without an
overwhelming number of choices. His master touch converts ordinary
vegetables into appetizers that do exactly that - please the palate
and prepare it for the main course. Dishes are made from excellent
ingredients that sparkle in simple, yet sophisticated sauces. And dessert?
A rare chef who makes all of his own.
Some descriptions from the current menu:
Appetizers
SCALLOP
FRITTERS
An appetizer as appealing as it is unusual. Four tender scallops, each dipped
in delicate beignet batter and bathed in tantalizingly sweet-tart soy-vinegar sauce.
BEET
SALAD
The gorgeous colors that greet your eye are matched by flavors that are somehow mix
comfort food and elegance, all at once.
Entrees
CRAB CAKE
Late diners often call ahead to reserve their order, because these are so popular with regular
211 customers. Jumbo lump crab, jumbo crab, and claw meat sauteed in a lemon-white wine sauce.
SHRIMP
CREOLE
Sauteed shrimp, lightly seasoned with Cajun spices, served in a slightly creamy red sauce of
diced fresh tomatoes,diced roasted red peppers, and a touch of garlic.

For aficionados, this is a must try. Crisply roasted and served with a honey-vinegar sauce
and red cabbage that work together just perfectly with the fowl.
Desserts
Light-textured,
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE
dusted with cocoa and edged with whipped cream.
Melt-in-your-mouth cream
