Opening Menu 

Even though the temperatures are still in the 90's, we've been working on perfecting the soups and savories we hope to offer when we open.

We have 2 menus ready: one for the bank financed Grand Opening, and one for the mortgaged Grand Opening.

Just because that's the way I am, I will offer you the financed Grand Opening, and let you drool over what you'll have to delay enjoying if we have to rely on the mortgaged Grand Opening.

For your delectation:
