Summer Menu 2013

We've gone to one menu incorporating our best ideas and inspirations.  This summer as with other seasons is jam packed with farmed and gathered ingredients.  We've got a new idea and format.  We are really excited about it and feel like it will really take our guests on a true journey of taste across the land.
