Agnes Restaurant & Cheesery

We are goin for it. Obviously with the help of my better half , we are heading to Thailand with our Sunday Supper Series tonight.

We are getting it fresh, light, raw, sweet and spicy tonight. Come cool down with us while we paint outside the lines with our special menu this evening!

French by way of LA tonight for our Supper Series. RATATOUILLE REMIX/ LAMB-BLUE CHEESE FRENCH DIPS/ AND PEACH CLAFOUTIS!!! My first Philippe’s sandwich really began to define how illustrious the LA food scene is to me. I’ve explored many cities, but this is the city that I am grateful to continue peeling back the layers to find exciting new treats in whatever neighborhood I find myself in. 

The Sunday Supper series is evolving in such a rewarding way for me and my chefs here. Each week, new ideas and collaborations are discovered and we are really having fun with it. Come check out what new flavors, ingredients, and techniques we are messing around with on our 3 new dishes each Sunday evening.

Welcome to Cabbage Summer 🙂‍↔️ Thank you for the wonderful write up on our Charred ‘Cobb’age! We’re so glad you love it as much as we do.

Introducing the PB&J Semifreddo, our latest dessert addition made by Denise, our new pastry chef! Starting with a grape & peanut butter semifreddo as the base, it's accompanied by sauce verjus, peanut butter honeycomb, dusted with hibiscus and finished with flowering lemon thyme.

Denise was inspired by the fact that she doesn't see grapes often incorporated into desserts so she wanted to take on the challenge of creating a dish centered on this delicious fruit. We're so excited to have her on our team, stop by to try this very special dessert and help us welcome her to the team!

Hello Agnes Community,
