Savory, a little sweet, and stacked with all the good stuff. Served with your choice of side. Available all week for lunch, come hungry! 🍽️

Your lunch break is going tropical this week. 🍍🍔 Meet the Ale House Luau Burger: a cooked to order USDA all beef patty layered with cheddar, bacon, grilled pineapple, lettuce and tomato over our house made Teriyaki Luau sauce, then finished with garlic aioli on a brioche bun. Sweet, savory, smoky and definitely not your average Monday lunch.

🌴 Available all week for lunch with your choice of side. Come grab yours!

Lobster. Risotto. Pancetta. We could probably stop there. 🦞✨Tonight’s special brings together house made risotto with a rich lobster crème sauce, tossed with sweet peas and crispy bits of pancetta, then topped with lobster claw meat and locally sourced microgreens. Creamy, savory, a little indulgent, and absolutely worth making dinner plans for. Join us tonight! 🍷
