Beyond the Burger: The Must-Try Dishes at CISCo Restaurant & Bar

favicon

Not every American restaurant needs to lead with a burger. We love a great one: ground filet, wagyu, short rib, perfectly stacked- but it’s just the start here at CISCo.

Because when you’re redefining modern American dining, you don’t stop at the expected. You create dishes that push comfort food forward. 

You layer technique and sourcing into every plate. And you build a menu that gives your guests more to discover every time they come in.

Here’s what to order at CISCo if you’re looking to move beyond the burger and into the heart of what makes our restaurant a true culinary experience.

Tagliatelle with Braised Short Ribs

Porcini red wine sauce, housemade pasta, slow-braised short rib

This is comfort food redefined. It’s deep, rich, and cooked low and slow. The kind of dish that feels both familiar and completely new. Earthy porcini meets velvety wine reduction. Tender short rib folds into hand-cut pasta. It’s a guest favorite for a reason, and one of the dishes that made us who we are.

Maple Dijon Salmon

With au gratin potatoes and sautéed asparagus

Sweet, savory, perfectly balanced. Our salmon is seared for a crisp edge and finished in a maple Dijon glaze that lands somewhere between indulgent and clean. Paired with golden au gratin and bright asparagus, it’s a dish that makes fish eaters feel fully taken care of.

Double Cut Duroc Pork Chop

Plum glaze, sage jus, house sides

Not your average chop. Thick, tender, and deeply flavorful, this 16 oz. Duroc cut holds its own next to any steak. The plum glaze adds just enough sweetness to play off the pork’s richness, and the sage jus brings it all together. Add creamed spinach or corn crème brûlée on the side and let the table slow down for a minute.

Crispy Rice with Ahi Tuna

Sesame, soy glaze, layered textures

Yes, it’s technically a starter, but it’s one that people remember. Crisped sushi rice, buttery tuna, and bold umami from the soy glaze. It’s plated to share, but you might not want to.

The Details That Elevate Every Dish

At CISCo, we believe the plate should feel complete, not just with flavor, but with balance. That’s why our sides and sauces are crafted with as much care as the mains. And why each dish is designed to stand on its own or fit seamlessly into a shared table.

Because our food isn’t meant to be rushed. It’s meant to be remembered.

Pair It Like You Mean It

We don’t do automatic wine pairings or cookie-cutter cocktail suggestions. Instead, our bar team builds drinks that complement specific dishes, like:

  • Pacific Old Fashioned with braised short rib pasta
  • Penicillin with the pork chop
  • Passionfruit Mule with ahi tuna or salmon

If you’re not sure what to order, please ask! We live for this part.

CISCo is more than dinner. It’s the start of your Friday night, the highlight of your celebration, the reason to stay for another round.
