We do indeed! We have the quinoa stuffed Portobello mushroom that is quite popular and the chef can prepare most anything to order. You can also take a peak at our menu at online. Cheers!!

Is there a dress code?

AnswerShow all 6 answers

Doesn't appear to be a dress code per se... I wouldn't go any less than business casual however. It's classier than jeans and a t-shirt or shorts let's keep it that way
