Crabby Scallops. The current dish on the menu came from a genius course at a wine dinner that Chef Jeanie crafted and was absolutely amazing! She loved this dish so much she made it into one of the most popular dishes on our menu over the years. Are you seeing the trend here?!

Rich bread pudding with vanilla-caramel sauce and finished with fresh whipped cream, this is as popular as as it ever was! Join us for some nostalgia tonight and finish with some Chocolate bread pudding.
