Food costs are real right now. We feel it too.

But supporting local farms, cooking with the seasons, and making thoughtful food more accessible has always mattered to us…so we asked ourselves how we could do both.

Our new menu now includes a selection of small and medium plates all priced under $20, built around hyper-seasonal ingredients and the same care, sourcing, and creativity we’ve always believed in.

As Michigan’s growing season starts showing off, you’ll see more local produce, more rotating seasonal dishes, and more ways to come in, share a few plates, and experience what we’re all about without needing a huge night out budget.

The biergarten is open, the new menu is here, and we’re really excited to share it with you! Cheers, friends.

A new wine list has landed! We recently refreshed our wine list to feel even more aligned with who we are and what we love to share around the table. More thoughtfully made wines and Michigan producers.

This collection was curated alongside Amy from who helped us build a list that feels approachable, intentional, and rooted in craftsmanship.

Before launching the new menu, our team sat down together for a full tasting and training with Amy to learn more about each wine, where it comes from, tasting notes, pairings, and why each bottle earned its place on the list.

A lot of care went into this one, and we’re really excited to share it with you!

Come grab a glass, try something new, and maybe discover a Michigan wine you end up loving 🥰
