Entrees include a chipotle maple-glazed Pork Chop, a braised Short Rib with shrimp grits and short rib au jus gravy, and a Scottish Salmon with braised fennel, oven dried tomatoes and crème fraiche fingerling potatoes. With a focus on fresh food and brilliant flavors, 98% of the menu is made from scratch.

The 10,000 square foot restaurant and bar features state-of-the-art A/V capabilities, 16 flat screen TVs, four of those being massive quad screens, and semi-private event offerings for groups and parties, making it ideal for game-day viewing.
