We’re known for our craft cocktails, but the w**e list deserves some attention too. It’s thoughtfully put together, with bottles and pours that hold up next to anything coming off the bar.

If you usually order a cocktail here, consider trying a glass of w**e on your next visit.

Broccoli doesn’t usually get a fan club. This one does.

Our Grilled Broccoli is a Principle classic. Smoky char, creamy spicy mayo, and crunchy smoked almonds. Order one for the table, or maybe two.

Korean Meatballs. Glazed, savory, and just sweet enough, piled on nutty wild rice and topped with pickled carrot, bok choy, and radish for crunch and zing.

It’s a whole bowl of flavor and texture.

The weather is getting colder. Let the warm spices embrace you. Calypso's embrace features bold Bulleit bourbon, warm allspice, and a nutty sweetness from Disaronno, with Amaro Montenegro adding a bittersweet, orangey finish. It's like fall in a glass.
