Scent translated to taste: Earth and Bloom

a martini that captures the essence of spring rain on flowers, by the endlessly innovative Nikki

petrichor, that earthy, fresh, & subtly sweet aroma after rain on warm soil, is recreated here using beet skins. Through tedious infusion & distillation, these skins are reborn into an earthy vodka distillate with geosmin and a delicate hydrosol, carrying those soft, fresh spring notes.

finished with one-of-a-kind floral bitters Nikki created at a Crude Bitters event, featuring jasmine, lavender, rose hips, and more.

simple yet masterful – vodka, Nikki’s Floral Field Bitters, petrichor distillate.

A new chapter of small plates.

Chef Saca Monk leans into this surprisingly chilly North Carolina winter with a cozy new lineup — hasselback sweet potato, Stella Rosa radicchio from , quail ballotine, and a rich, indulgent dry-aged beef burger (kudos to Chef Chris Pierce at for this burger as well).

New plates from 5–10pm. Favorites including our Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich are available on our late night menu post-10pm. Charcuterie always available (as it ought to be).

Join us for new bites, as well as some new drinks. We're so pleased with what our January menu has to share.
