Food Scene

Delicious, low-key, simple menu of tacos and burritos with vegetarian options and several great salsas to try! Outdoor seating is great when available, but you can also get your food to go.

Great smoothies and middle eastern fare in a modern setting. I recommend the baklava, preferably a half dozen variety tray so you can enjoy the different varieties!

Drinks & Nightlife

Great craft beer menu that also includes some wine and cider for any non beer drinkers. Tasty food that's a step up from typical bar fare as well, especially the sautéed brussel sprouts! Delicious.
