The Great Lakes did the hard part. We just plated it. Lake Superior Whitefish, served with spiced potato, remoulade, pole bean, and sweety drop peppers.

Swordfish 101: it's the steak of the sea.

Dense, meaty, and firm enough to hold up on the grill without falling apart — which means big char, big flavor, no mush.

Ours comes grilled and paired with Spanish succotash, chipotle crème, and cilantro. Smoky heat, bright finish.

New to swordfish? This is the plate to start with.

Patio season doesn’t last forever. Get your seat while the weather's on our side. Drinks are more refreshing outside, too!

Jerk spice and tempeh. Not a pairing you'd expect, but one bite in and it just makes sense. Packed with flavor, this dish proves some combinations were meant to happen, even if nobody saw it coming.

Meet Clear Days, Better Days NA cousin. Same family, same care behind the bar, but it's own personality in the glass.

Sweet, savory, and a little tangy. Korean inspired meatballs and wild rice and bok choy, topped with pickled carrot and radish.
