Ursa Minor – American
Nestled in a space that feels both grounded and ethereal, Ursa Minor invites guests to linger over crusty Barn Owl bread and the deep, umami-rich warmth of a broth that bridges land and sea. The kitchen transforms seasonal treasures into inventive plates, where the golden crunch of salt cod fritters meets the unexpected, tangy comfort of fermented potato gnocchi and vibrant, fire-kissed vegetables. It is a soulful sanctuary of regional flavors, where every bite of fresh albacore or charred chicken meatballs feels like a poetic tribute to the surrounding landscape.
