MENU HIGHLIGHTS<br />
At lunch, Chef’s features include a Pastrami Reuben sandwich — essential New York deli — with Swiss cheese,<br />
sauerkraut, Russian dressing and crispy dills. East Coast Lobster Roll with celery, scallion, mayo and topsider bun<br />
quickly became a signature dish. House Cured Smoked Salmon with two potato<br />
latkes, crème fraîche and fried capers is a classic, or try the Braised Beef Short Rib<br />
with creamy mashed potatoes, seasonal veg, veal bone reduction and greens.<br />
Über-Pastry-Chef Michele Lenhardt brings dessert offerings to a whole new<br />
level at both locations. Decadent Chocolate Cake with fudge frosting and Carrot<br />
Cake with cream cheese icing are classics, as are her made-to-order Apple<br />
Fritters (with salted caramel sauce). Try the River Room’s signature Vanilla Bean<br />
Crème Brûlée and the Rhino’s Brookies (brownie meets cookie).<br />
Perfect bookend days to the popular Cronut Thursdays, the Rhino becomes<br />
“plant-based” on Wednesdays and Fridays. Enjoy house-made delights such as<br />
vegan Mac ‘n Cheese, vegan Sausage Rolls and vegan Cheesecake and Dutchies.<br />
