You'll find comforting dishes that pair naturally with a well-curated flight of local beers, ciders, and even kombucha, making it a place to settle in for casual lunches, relaxed afternoons, or easy-going evening gatherings.

Highlights include thoughtfully crafted pizzas like classic pepperoni or more inventive options such as the wild mushroom, alongside sharable plates like cheese and charcuterie boards. Crisp fries and unique house brews add to the laid-back vibe, encouraging patrons to enjoy simple, satisfying bites that harmonize with the warm neighborhood atmosphere.
