A little something special if you’re joining us today or tomorrow…

We’re serving up Nduja Crostini to start, a Duroc Pork Chop that’s every bit as good as it sounds, a few wines we’re especially excited about and of course some fun cocktails from the bar. Happy Hour is 11-6pm today!

Thanks to everyone who checked out The Round Corner upstairs! What a fun night!
