Our Chef has created a menu with an unconventional Californian-Southwestern flare. The menu features flat bread
style pizzas, homemade pastas, along with many
different appetizers, salads, and entrees – truly
something to suit everyone’s tastes. Our locally
inspired menus are complimented by a diverse,
ever-changing extensive wine list offering global
