Update: We will not be open for dinner tonight as well. Still working through some issues. Our goal is to be open the rest of the weekend with normal hours. We will continue to update as we progress.
Thank you for understanding.

We will be closed for lunch today, Thursday, June 11th, due to unforeseen circumstances. The weather was not good to us last night. The building took a lightning strike and we are currently trying to fix multiple issues so we can open for dinner.

We will update everyone as soon as possible.
