The restaurant is owned by Susan and Drew Goss (Zinfandel), who have put together a straightforward menu that offers a little bit of everything. Appetizers include the beer cheese plate (with crunchy toasts), gnocchi (with asparagus, soybeans and pesto) and flatbread (herb roasted mushrooms, leeks, white truffle oil and mozzarella), served pizza-style with a light, crispy crust.
Entrees include duck (confit leg with mashed parsnips, caramelized shallots and thyme), steak (pepper-crusted prime top sirloin with zinfandel reduction and tavern fries) and a pork chop (brown sugar cured with roasted garlic mascarpone cheese grits, herbed succotash and dried cherry sage sauce). Desserts are also made in-house and include a chocolate-walnut brownie sundae and a bourbon pecan pie. The compact wine list features selections from around-the-world, available both by the glass and by the bottle.
