It’s an approachable, design-forward destination for both a weekend night out and a casual weekday rendezvous.

What to Order

Maple-Glazed Meatloaf

A comfort-food staple upgraded with a savory-suede glaze, creamy mashed potatoes, and a bright herb gremolata.

Shredded, pan-roasted Brussels with crisp pancetta, toasted almonds, and a tangy cider reduction.

Retro Lobster Roll

Buttery, warm-slit roll piled with tender Maine lobster tossed in light lemon-herb mayo — classic and refined.
