Tapas & Dinner

Dinner Menu is available from 3 pm to close!

Our menu changes often, but we always try to maintain a selection of classic dishes perhaps with an international fusion! One thing is for sure, we design our dinner entrees to be full of nutrition and cook them in a healthy way! We use the best ingredients available, and cook with olive oil and convection ovens. We also use outdoor grill and sous-vide cooking methods where applicable. Come and try one of our dinner entrees! and don’t forget to pair with a beautiful glass of wine!

Private Events



As your guests enter our converted 1906 Victorian historic home, they’ll discover a hidden 2,500 square foot outdoor back patio. In the evening, the patio is illuminated with twinkle lights, fire pits, and outdoor heaters. We offer year-round outdoor dining. During the winter, six covered gazebos heated by electric heaters and surrounded by firepits and heaters, create a warm atmosphere to keep your guests warm and dry.
