Our mixologists behind the bar will happily shake up handcrafted cocktails or pour a glass of local wine to pair with brunch on the weekends.

We understand that some guests may require a paper menu, and one can be provided with a list of standards items upon request. In order to meet added costs from the city, we've added a voluntary 3% COB fee to our checks. We understand that rising costs affect our guests too, so we will remove this fee upon request.

The restaurant was slammed because it was a surprisingly beautiful evening. The servers and host all seemed stressed. Our food wasn’t quite right and they took $10 off which was a nice gesture but it would have been better if they had offered to fix it
