Everything on the menu is made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients that make for fresh and flavorful dishes.

Please provide public parking or include parking in your ticket price. We didn't try the food. A glass of wine was $28, there isn't any value in anything that was offered. We won't be back. Ambience was pleasant.
