The Upside Down Jackson
Wild Turkey 101, Montenegro Amaro, Luxardo Del Santo, Courvoisier VSOP, lemon, simple, whole egg, nutmeg

This riff on the classic “Flip” cocktail is an adult milkshake! Frothy, smooth, deep flavors with a hint of nutmeg for warmth.

Pic 2: The Jackson who loves to go upside down 🙃
Our little guys loves to play! His favorite- when Dad holds him upside down for tickles and laughs.

Spring Salad
kale, daikon, radish, sesame

A light crunch, a bright vinaigrette, and pops of sesame. It’s a perfect “middle dish.” Start with a savory plate, maybe the mushroom toast, and end with Cavatelli or Short Ribs. A half salad is just right in between! Get a full to share along with our Housemade Focaccia!

Our New Hours have begun:
Tuesday - Saturday 4:30 pm to 9:00 pm

Pork Loin
bacon, sauerkraut, mustard

Housemade sauerkraut with brightness from the addition of stoneground mustard make this rich, savory side a perfect compliment to brined pork loin. This plate is all savory, so tap into a bright bottle of white wine to surprise your palate or a light body red to lean into the savory experience.

We’re having a lot of fun with this new menu! Hope you’ll stop in this weekend to try a few new things!
