Italy meets Greece as we take a tour of the Mediterranean with our new Ravioli set! Our House-made Ravioli is stuffed with the classic Greek flavors of spinach and feta. Local mushrooms round out the plate, perfectly balancing the tangy flavor of the feta.

A swirl of smoke, a moment of pause, and then the first sip. Our Smoked Sazerac is as much an experience as it is a cocktail.

From the first sip, we knew. The lychee, the genepy, the hit of lime, that rosemary warmth, the Bruto Americano edge...unexpected, and exactly what we’ve been looking for. So we’re asking the big question: will you be the cocktail we commit to all night long?
Rosemary Me -- lychee liqueur - genepy - lime juice - rosemary syrup - bruto americano

Crisp local greens tossed in a classic Caesar with grana padano, anchovy, and crunchy croutons. Clean, savory, and exactly what a great Caesar should be.
