We source locally & seasonally from small producers and from partners like East Denver Food Hub. Thus, our menus are always in flux and online menus may differ slightly from printed menus.

As operating costs associated with small business operations continue to rise, we have included a 20% service charge to your bill. If you would like this removed, we are happy to do so. Thank you for your support and understanding and helping us all keep independent restaurants a viable pursuit.
