"I want to reincorporate those [former menu items] in a different way," Fernandez says. "We're doing prime rib with a king cut, which is about a pound-and-a-half portion, with Yorkshire pudding, vegetables and horseradish cream. I think people will be excited to see that. Also the fish and chips with thick-cut potatoes, because it's a British style and I want to keep it in that direction. We have short ribs -- simple, but back in the day a hugely successful dish. The burgershire soup was the soup they used to make at the restaurant with a base of ground beef. I made it into the farmer's soup."
Fernandez's influence is evident in the restaurant's new entrees, including Missouri lamb chop and braised shoulder with curried shell beans and black olive relish ($32), herb marinated flap steak with Cheshire potato croquette ($22), Atlantic swordfish with slow-cooked broccoli, dried fig and almond chutney ($28) and Rain Crow Ranch pork chop with bubble and squeak and spiced apple butter ($24). To complement the menus Fernandez and Fernandez-Cruz have developed, the Cheshire is stocked with 1,700 varieties of wine, available at its front-room bar or paired with dishes in its dining room.
"Everything is made in the house, from mayonnaise to crème fraîche to yogurt, all the ice creams and pastas," Fernandez says.
