Chef Matt Hinckley of East End Market fame is at the helm. A variety of unique proteins lead the menu, like the Elk Bacon Burger, or the popular Duck Fries. There's even a kids' menu with toned-down versions of the adult entrees. The cocktails are potent and handcrafted – with a variety of mocktails too, the beer menu is solid, and there is Happy Hour Monday – Friday, including ALL DAY on Mondays!
