Jiko - The Cooking Place

Changing seasonally, the menu may include flavor bursting appetizers like imaginative brick oven-fired flatbreads and mouth-watering entrées such as oak-grilled filet mignon.
The children’s menu features pizza, grilled chicken or steak, and market-fresh fish served with ancient grains and vegetables.
