Early Spring Menu 2008:
We recommend ordering several items to share, pass, taste, and enjoy with wine. Order as you go and feel free to mix dishes from each category, or choose your own soup, salad, appetizer and entree. Helpful symbols on our printed menus assist guests with friendly flight pairings, or feel free to ask your server for their own wine recommendations.
