A Very Ruske Easter

We've said it before and we'll repeat ourselves when a statement is so true and without dispute: Meals are always amazing when helmed by Jen Ruske. Cafe Drake lucked out with an invite to spend a chilly Spring afternoon with Ruske, her visiting Mother from upstate and Anthony Castro. Kudos are in store for the entire meal from beginning to decadent end, but we'll let a few photos above - and the menu below - speak (volumes) for themselves. Happy Easter everyone from Sailor and Cafe Drake!!
