The main dining room -- as well as the swanky Mansion bar -- continues operation in full swing. Summer menu offerings include a starter of pounded big eye tuna and foie gras torchon dressed with extra virgin olive oil; leek and curry infused baby turbot with lime orzotto, green apple and Madras curry nage; and pan-seared filet mignon with Burgundy snails, Roquefort blue cheese and yukon gold potato puree.
