A cozy ambience of exposed wood and brick, quality menu with individual flourishes and attentive service all add up to make The Ginger Man on Western Avenue popular with its clientele. Attention to detail is paramount here. The menu also offers creative sampling flights.

The food served here uses fresh and locally sourced ingredients from independently owned businesses. Whet the appetite with appetizers like sautéed curry spiced Maine lobster tail, cheese fondue, risotto croquettes or the charcuterie platter. Choice of entrées includes paella with jumbo shrimp, tender chicken, little neck clams, calamari and chorizo sausage, coffee and chipolte braised beef short ribs and house brined and oven roasted whole young chicken with baby carrots, herb gnocchi and thyme jus. Alternately, try lighter fare such as lasagna Bolognese, crispy beer battered Alaskan halibut or hazelnut crusted chicken breast. End with the seasonal fruit and cheese board or desserts such as baklava, strawberry shortcake and chocolate fondue, paired with your choice of port, grappa or liqueur.
