Wild Seed – Mediterranean
Vibrant colors and bold, earth-driven flavors take center stage in this lively haven where plant-based ingredients are transformed into artful, globally-inspired shared plates. The air is thick with the aroma of spiced curried cauliflower and savory wild mushroom zeppole, inviting guests to linger over overflowing mezze platters and crisp, herb-flecked green falafel. It is a soulful celebration of the harvest, where every dish—from the cooling crunch of spicy cucumbers to the rich depth of Athenian eggplant—pulses with fresh, seasonal energy.
