The current menu is broad enough for an exploratory table yet focused enough to build around a few anchors: Pulpo with potato and paprika, saffron-rich Seafood Paella, and a mushroom-led Setas Paella that gives vegetarian diners a serious centrepiece. Reservations, cocktails and regional wines make the room especially well suited to a paced evening with friends.

Marks County Chips is a seasonal Picton walk-up built around hand-cut fries, fish and chips, and a poutine list that runs from pulled pork to sweet potato and barbecue chicken.

Harry’s Charbroiled Picton is a Loyalist Parkway burger stop built around smashed patties, the Plain-to-Big Jane progression, and chorizo burgers that move the menu beyond the usual cheeseburger script.
