Happy hour 3-6pm weekdays: $10 cocktails, $5 beer, $8 wine, $10 small plates. Menu changes seasonally.
Crispy fried cauliflower with basil jalapeno aioli — the perfect shareable starter that everybody reaches for.
House meatballs in rich pomodoro sauce — comfort food done with just enough finesse to feel special.
Creamy, fresh burrata — a simple dish that relies on ingredient quality, and TESSA sources well.
Rich, spicy lobster paired with pillowy gnocchi — the most indulgent pasta on the menu.
