Sample menu! Dear guests, while we would love to be able to accommodate everyone’s food restrictions, ethical and personal food preferences, we have a tiny staff and simply do not have a bandwidth to accommodate everyone! Our apologies. For those who simply *don’t like* something and request a substitution, we encourage you to suspend judgment and maybe *try* our preparation, what if you like it? 🤣
