1. Signature Crab Cakes Appetizer
Your first bite hits with sweet blue crab, a delicate crunch, and lemon whispering over a creamy remoulade. The Green Gateau nails restraint, letting the crab shine without heavy breading. You will notice finely diced celery and herbs that keep each forkful bright and balanced.

It sets the tone for a coastal experience right on 10th Street. Ask for extra lemon if you love zing. You will be planning a repeat visit before your plate is cleared.
