Consider this your sneak peek. 😍

We have a very limited supply of this Snapper Crudo available tonight and tomorrow before our new summer menu officially arrives.

Fresh snapper, cucumber, black olive, shallot, lime, olive oil, basil, Maldon salt, and cracked pepper. Light, fresh, and perfect for a hot July evening. We’d love for you to be among the first to try it!!

We’ll also be closed Saturday in observance of the Fourth of July, so we hope to see you tonight or tomorrow at Rule
❤️🤍💙

We refuse to believe the weather app. 😂 A little rain in the forecast this afternoon just means the patio gets a quick rinse before Casey Clark takes over tonight. We’re keeping our hopes high, and if the clouds decide to stick around, we’ve got a Plan B. Either way, we’ll see you at Rule for great food, drinks, and live music. Casey Clark
