Diners can expect a rotating selection of signature creations that exemplify the restaurant's commitment to seasonal storytelling. Notable highlights include the Threadfin Fish, which is elevated by a vibrant combination of tamarind, romesco, and aubergine, as well as their expertly executed duck courses. It’s nearly criminal to leave Skillet without having their star dessert, Texture of Chocolate, served with a chocolate sphere and a mallet for an interactive experience.
