We’re resting up this Monday, but taking a moment to reflect on how lucky we are to call Elkhart home. 🍂✨

As October wraps up, we are officially in the final stretch of patio season! We want to say a massive thank you to our community for spending so many beautiful evenings outside with us this year. Grab a sweater and join us for one last toast under the stars.

Popping into the weekend like... 🫧💨

Did you know you can always ask for our bubble cocktail? Watch it build, wait for the pop, and enjoy the show. It’s just one of the ways we love bringing the culinary playground straight to your glass.

The perfect bite is all about balance. ✨🍣

Watch our kitchen team build our signature Tuna Tartare: vibrant yellowfin tuna tossed in a savory wasabi-soy, finished with chives, and served with an unbelievable garlic kimchi crunch over crispy rice. It’s a fantastic start to your evening.

Raw or Rockefeller? We say both. 🦪✨

While we just rolled out plenty of exciting new fall dishes in our culinary playground, these two staples aren't going anywhere. Choose between our fresh Raw Oysters with pear & black garlic mignonette, or indulge in our Rockefeller topped with bacon, spinach, and bread crumbs.
