What’s The Greenhouse offering?

The Greenhouse offers menus for brunch and dinner, and for its speakeasy bar food. Its website describes the cuisine as new American. American staples such as trout, crab, steak and burgers are available across the three menus.

Menu items feature some international flare. The Greenhouse-style burger comes with chimichurri, grilled onion and white cheddar cheese. Chimichurri is a South American sauce used as a topping for meats.

The majority of menu items are shareables, including but not limited to salads, a clam dish, Korean-style fried chicken and crab dip. If you’re looking for something sweet, their menu offers cake, cheesecake, chocolate mousse and ice cream.

The brunch menu offers breakfast items such as chicken and waffles, French toast and steak and eggs. A breakfast-inspired burger topped with egg, bacon and glazed onion is also available.

The speakeasy’s menu offers its own suite of meals. The majority of items are also available on the dinner menu, except for a few, such as the lobster toast.

The first-floor bar and speakeasy offer drink menus with multiple cocktail options. The speakeasy’s cocktails are not available at the first-floor bar.
