OUR FINAL GIVEBACK OF THE YEAR 🍽️🫶

This Thursday we’ll be hosting for our final giveback of the season! It’s been heartwarming to see the community showing up each night for all the organizations. We’ve raised glasses together, made new friends and contributed to local non-profits making a real difference in the area.

So far, we’ve donated over $6,000 across the organizations and we’re hoping to top it off with one more strong night. You dine. We donate. We hope to see you there!
