The chef at Wence’s Restaurant reimagines classic American dishes with a modern culinary approach, something that should be obvious as soon as you look at the menu. Even the starters are inventive, like the truffled mac and cheese. This gooey creation consists of gruyere, sharp cheddar, mozzarella, and aged Asiago with a drizzle of truffle oil and a crispy layer of bread crumbs on top.

Nosh on an upscale appetizer as you weigh your options for the main course, like the lobster tacos. The dish features organic corn tortillas embellished with grilled British Columbian lobster, cabbage, cheddar cheese, Southern lime salsa, and guacamole, plus sweet potato fries and fresh pico de gallo on the side. You can also opt for the 10-ounce filet mignon, a plate of the signature oysters, or a pasta dish like Cajun jambalaya at Wence’s Restaurant.
