    Thursday Night Dinner With Friends

    I was not very hungry so all I had was a bison burger that was cooked very nicely at a medium rare and paired with a local Flying Fish Brewer ale. My dinner companions were very satisfied with their dinners also.

    Description
    real food * from scratch We believe that great food and healthful ingredients are not mutually exclusive of each other. We buy organic produce from local farmers and seafood from the commercial fishing harbor right outside our restaurant. We feature all natural products - steering clear of preservatives and antibiotics. Whole grains and whole foods are used in the preparation of our menu - which our chefs write twice daily, based on what's fresh, available and delicious. Fresh. Local. Organic. Taste the difference.
