Poquito – Mexican
Poquito captures the essence of a spirited neighborhood bistro, where a warm, inviting atmosphere sets the stage for a menu that balances playful nostalgia with refined culinary craft. Guests can indulge in the comforting crunch of golden house frites and savory pigs in a blanket before diving into more elegant fare like velvety lobster bisque or delicate, lightly smoked salmon. It is a place where the simple joy of a perfectly seared cheeseburger meets the coastal charm of fresh lake perch, creating a dining experience that feels both familiar and wonderfully elevated.
