We have a full menu, have live music 4 days a week, happy hour daily, and brunch on the weekends. Our wine list has been recognized and awarded by Wine Spectator for six years.

We have a full menu so you'll have the ability to engage with diners as well wine lovers. We are looking for someone that understands the strong correlation between what you get your tables to buy and enjoy translates to higher tips.
