Little PSA going into the long weekend 🙂 We'll be open regular hours today through Monday and then on Tuesday we'll be closed to give the team a little break.

It's wild that August is here already! Summer has been going full-throttle; we've got some new faces on the team and of course dishes and drinks are getting changed up as this abundant season progresses. We can't wait to see you this weekend!!!
