Monday Dinners and Oyster Hour at The Advocate - starting tonight!

We’re excited to open our doors tonight at 5:30pm for our first Monday dinner service. In conjunction with the addition of Mondays, we are also launching Oyster Hour, a celebration of our relationship with our friends at Hog Island Oyster Company.

Hog Island Oysters on the half shell Meyer lemon-celery mignonette

To begin, Oyster Hour will run all night on Mondays, from 5:30-6:30pm Tuesday thru Thursday and after 8:30pm every night. During these time frames, in addition to our regular menu we will be offering $1.50 Hog Island Sweetwater Oysters (both on the half shell and wood-roasted) along with a delicious porchetta sandwich, our juicy burger and special wine and beer selections.

New Dishes

An exciting addition to the dinner menu is a new flatbread that is cooked in the coals of our Universo wood-burning grill. It’s a variation on the flatbreads we’ve been serving to date, with crispier crust. We also have a new spring greens salad with spiced wild pecans that changes nightly based on what we find at the farmer’s market and a wood-roasted local fish (changes based on what is most fresh) with early season favas and abalone mushrooms.

Crisp Flatbread cooked in the coals ricotta, Tate’s Hell honey, argan oil, herbs and flowers

Mixed Spring Lettuces shaved raw vegetables, spiced wild pecans, cane syrup vinaigrette

Wood-roasted Redfish favas, braised leeks, abalone mushrooms, garlic-saffron vinaigrette

Group Dining at The Advocate

Groups of 8-10 people can now reserve our community table (Table 20) for a multi-course family-style meal that draws from our daily-changing menu. We also offer a similar family-style option for larger groups (up to 25) in our main dining room on a case-by-case basis. And for even larger groups, The Advocate is available for full buyouts.
