Scallops Over Innsmouth - A blasphemous hybrid of fresh caught deep sea denizens and Innsmouth brand rice. The recipe for the sauce was created by 14th century mystic Abdul the Hungry, who is well known to have been force-fed the dish by invisible creatures, driving mad the many onlookers. Served with lemon. Ratatouille in the Walls - A thick stew of ancient otherworldy plant beings, served between cyclopean walls of our famous Miskatonic Mashed potatoes. This dish is tastier than your enemies! ---

By a strange coincidence, that’s our **Entree of the Dark.** Our patrons have told us that while it is quite tasty, actually looking at it makes them lose their appetite. And their sanity. This has happened often enough that most of our staff are quite good at translating drooling mumblings. ---
