Description
The kitchen spreads its focus across an eclectic menu, turning out dishes like wood-fired shrimp, polenta bread, and a two-sheet lasagna. The fettuccine tossed with Italian sausage and fennel balances depth of flavor with lightness. But the biggest draw might be the exclusive double cheeseburger. Only 30 of these unorthodox, richly topped creations—featuring caramelized onions, Dijonnais, and a pickled long hot—are served each day. On weekends, the routine shifts to brunch.
