The menu features chef-driven comfort food favorites with a healthy twist along with a unique beverage program including wine, cocktails & beer, all on draft. On the other end is the live side, a dynamic, state-of-the-art music, comedy and multi-use venue with the latest in lighting and video technology. The live side can easily be transformed from a traditional rowed theater, to a comedy club set up, to a standing concert space with an approximate capacity of 300 sitting/450 standing. The space has the capability to host almost any type of meeting, corporate happy hour, live shows, seminars, workshops, live podcasts, stand-up comedy, concerts, and much more!

We’re often asked why our food tastes so good. We always make it from scratch, right here in our kitchen, using exceptional ingredients. Every soup is prepared by hand, utilizing signature recipes. Each salad is created with fresh, hand-chopped veggies, and tossed with our house-made dressing. All sandwiches are made using our inspired signature spreads and fresh-baked ciabatta bread, and our desserts are certifiably delicious. Why all the extra effort? Because we’re passionate about creating kitchen-fresh food the old-fashioned way, and we know you can taste the difference.
