This weekend’s feature at Tallgrass celebrates the peak of summer squash. We’ve taken cured and beautifully grilled zucchini and layered it over a rich, silky yellow squash aioli. It’s finished with creamy stracciatella, a toasted pistachio crumb for that perfect textural crunch, a dusting of sweet-heat Espelette, and a bright, herbaceous hit of basil oil.

Summer is in full swing here at Tallgrass, come join us and taste what we’ve been working on.

Open for dinner tonight 5pm-10pm!

Summer’s finest flavors come together in one elegant course.

Our Diver Scallops are delicately pan seared and presented over a silky sweet corn velouté, accented with roasted Jimmy Nardello peppers and bright pickled sweet corn. A thoughtful composition that captures the essence of the season—refined, vibrant, and unmistakably summer.

Join us at Tallgrass and experience the new summer menu, thoughtfully crafted around the finest ingredients from local farms and producers.

Join us at Tallgrass this weekend and experience one of our favorite summer dishes.

Featured here is our Heritage Berkshire Pork Belly Confit—crispy on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside. Slow-cooked, pressed, and fried to perfection, it’s paired with bright pickled summer squash, smoky grilled apricot, fresh fennel, and finished with a local cider glaze.

This is one you won’t want to miss.

We’re open today and tomorrow from 5–10 PM closed Saturday for the fourth and Sunday from 5–8 PM. We look forward to welcoming you this weekend.

We’re excited to be one of the first restaurants in the area to feature Sarti Rosa on our cocktail menu.

Just beginning to make its way to the United States from Europe, this highly limited Italian aperitivo brings vibrant citrus and tropical notes to our newest summer cocktail, crafted with gin, elderflower, fresh lemon, and a silky egg white finish. Or even try it as a spritz!

Come in tonight and be among the first to give it a try.

And if you can’t make it this evening, join us tomorrow for our Car Show and enjoy cocktails, great food, and an evening in downtown Lockport.

Thursday-Saturday: 5pm-10pm
Sunday: 5pm-8pm
Monday: 4pm-8pm

Our chefs have been hard at work in the kitchen, creating seasonal dishes that celebrate the best flavors of summer, while our bartenders have been busy crafting a delicious new cocktail list filled with refreshing, summer-inspired creations.

Featured in the photo is one of our newest additions: our savory cone of Foie Gras Mousse with local cherries, hazelnut, pickled shallot, sherry XO, and fresh sorrel—a beautiful balance of rich, bright, and seasonal flavors.

Join us this weekend and be among the first to experience everything our new summer menu has to offer.
