There’s more to the menu than just drinks and fondue.

We designed it to feel like something you might’ve picked up at Klein’s back in the day. A bit like a department store catalogue. Sections, descriptions, information you can't find on a mobile phone.

Flip through and you’ll find a few stories woven in. A little about the building and what it’s been over the years. The history of Klein’s and the role it played in the neighborhood. Even a bit about Orvis Horatio Group and how this whole thing came to be.

A shoutout to graphic designer .xyz for making our vision a reality.
