Beef & Leaf News:
Beef & Leaf, at 3801 Arkansas Ave., is offering a prix fixe dinner menu of 3 courses and a carafe of wine that changes every week – a special dinner menu offered in addition to the regular dinner menu.
Beef and Leaf Cafe was created on the dream of taking the comfort food offered at Pig + Fig Cafe, and upscaling it to a new level of dining.
Executive Chef and Owner Laura Crucet’s vision was to take the experience of her Pig + Fig Cafe wine dinners, and offer it all week, year round.
As a result, Beef & Leaf Cafe provides an upscale dining experience, all while maintaining the same warm atmosphere and familiar food from her first restaurant.
