Weekly specials March 10-14

          As spring looms closer on the horizon, Campus House is pleased to present its weekly specials in hopes of bringing about a warmer weather state of mind.

***The current soup feature is a velvety roasted onion soup with asiago cheese – a vegan option of this soup is also available.


***The sandwich special is an oldie, but definitely a goodie – hand-carved turkey on a BLT - with crisp bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo on toasted sourdough.


***Smoked trout is a decidedly delicious addition to this black pepper fettucine with leeks, sweet peas, and a creamy lemon parmesan sauce that simply smells like spring should taste!


***A sure harbinger of the beautiful warmer weather to come, the salad feature is a refreshing orzo and arugula salad with black beans, sweet corn, scallions, and tomatoes, tossed with white cheddar and a cilantro chili buttermilk dressing – available additionally with grilled chicken or shrimp.



***Last, but most certainly no least, Chef Shetice wows with fresh pan seared sea scallops and a saffron beurre blanc (a fragrant, dreamy butter sauce) over tomato vodka risotto, an elegant spin on the classic Italian-American sauce.


          The Campus House bar strives to showcase unique wines with authenticity of both taste and history, where the flavors can "speak of where they're from."  Wine is an important component of Campus House, so we are excited to announce the arrival of some new bottles of wine that will tickle the fancy of many hungry oenophiles.

***Apollonio is a single winery red wine from Copertino, a district in Puglia, Italy (in the "heel of the boot" region) that uses three indigenous grapes -- negroamaro, montepulciano, and malvasia nera.   These varietals are blended into a wine that is wonderfully earthy, with the mellow aromas of leather and cigars.  This wine would be a great match with grilled meat, especially game.

***Leth, fermented from gruner veltliner -- the primary grape varietal of Austria -- is a deliciously dry and fragrant wine that tastes of citrus and grass.  Its sauvignon blanc-like flavor profile holds its own against richly flavored poultry and fish dishes, as well as asian foods.

***German Stock & Stein (literally, sticks and stones!) is a wonderfully fresh and addictive rose from the pinot noir grape that would happily play counterpart to any cocktail party fare.  Both cheeses and smoked or cured meats would be welcome accompaniments.

          We hope to see you soon at Campus House, where you will experience world-class service.
