Father's day?! How's about Father's weekend?! Let's celebrate our favorite guys with the ultimate surf and turf! All weekend long! 🥩🦀🦪

​Why choose between land and sea when you can have the absolute best of both? This weekend, we’re serving up a massive 16 oz T-Bone Steak, grilled to absolute perfection and paired with char-grilled asparagus and a fully loaded baked potato.

​But we didn't stop there. You get to choose your own seafood adventure to crown the plate:

​✨ Option 1: Half a sweet, chilled Dungeness Crab 🦀

✨ Option 2: Three colossal, flame-grilled prawns 🦐

✨ Option 3: Six fresh, briny oysters on the half shell 🦪

$60 plus options for multiple seafood selections!

​What’s in your glass? 🍻🥃

An epic meal requires an epic pairing. Whether you want to wash it down with one of our 12 ice-cold beers on draft, or elevate your evening with a pour from the best whiskey selection in Thurston County, our bar team has you completely covered.

​These plates are huge, the drinks are cold, and tables will fill up fast.

​👇 Drop a comment below: Are you team Crab, Prawn, or Oyster?

​⏰ Serving all weekend long starting Friday at 4 PM. Race you to the table!

Fresh flowers, fresh food, and fast horses—the ultimate weekend pairing. 🌸🐴✨

​We are packing up the trucks, prepping the kitchen, and heading out to Aspen Farms for the Spring Horse Trials this weekend!

​While our team is busy making sure the menu is absolutely flawless for the crowds, we couldn't resist showing off a little bit of the gorgeous floral vibe setting the scene. Because let’s be honest: watching world-class equestrian action tastes even better when the food is incredible and the view is this pretty. 😉

​To the amazing crew working behind the scenes to pull off this weekend's magic: let’s do this! And to all the riders, spectators, and guests at Aspen Farms: get ready for a phenomenal weekend. See you by the course! 🥂🍽️

Monday Mood: Cured. ☁️🍹

​Gray skies got you down? We’ve got the perfect antidote.

​We are turning the Monday blues around the best way we know how—by extending Happy Hour ALL DAY long!

​Skip the gloom, pull up a chair, and let us take care of the rest. Whether you need a cozy spot to decompress or a bright spot in your rainy day, the bar is warm and the drinks are flowing.

​Doors open at 11. See you soon! 🥂✨

Whew, what a weekend! 😮‍💨
​First off, a massive THANK YOU to our amazing regulars and everyone who absolutely packed the house from Friday straight through today! You kept our kitchen sprinting, our front-of-house on their toes, and you officially cleaned us out—we completely SOLD OUT of Sunday brunch! 🥞🥓 There is truly nothing better than a dining room constantly bursting with great energy, loud laughs, and clean plates.
​We also noticed we were the stars of a 100+ comment drama-fest on the local community page this week. 🍿 While the internet was busy typing, we were busy cooking, pouring, and running food all weekend long! Haters gonna hate, but our regulars are gonna eat.
​Thank you guys for showing up where it actually matters: at the tables, supporting local business, and keeping our community vibrant. We love you guys! Time to rest our feet and restock the kitchen. ❤️🥂

Its hot outside. No worries; the freezie machine is on full blast so you can stay cool. And the grapes are leafy and casting nice shade on the patio!

Statistically, 100% of Mondays happen at the exact start of the workweek. It’s a terrible system, and we’re protesting the only way we know how: All-Day Happy Hour.

​From open to close, the drinks are cheap and the judgment is zero. If anyone asks, you’re just doing some intensive "networking" and "market research." 🤫🍸

​See you at the bar. You've earned it (and it’s only 5 PM).
