“A Fresh Taste of Fall” comes to the menu at Kingfisher (MENU)

We’re all witnessing it. The sun is easing up a bit and it’s cooling down outside.

However, the kitchen is heating up at Kingfisher as it dishes out its “A Fresh Taste of Fall” menu throughout the month of October.

Chef Jeff Azersky has updated the lunch and dinner menus at the restaurant, using an impressive selection of dishes to help you slide your way into the holiday season. One significant addition to the menu is the Bluefin Heath Bar Cheesecake, which was originally found at Bluefin — the sister restaurant to Kingfisher that closed in 2015.

Plus, there’s an epic return of certain dishes that’ll keep some of Kingfisher’s regulars satisfied. A few of those getting another shot on the menu is the Warm Cabbage Salad, Bouillabaisse, and Braised Lamb Shank. 

Has that taken a hold of your attention?

Check out the full menu below.
