They serve local coffee by Switchbox and bakery goods by Gran Forno. Entrees include margarita half chicken (oven-roasted lime and tequila-marinated chicken with crispy salt skin served with blistered green beans) and Mr. G’s Pork Tenderloin (grilled Dijon beer-marinated tenderloin served with sweet potato carrot mash).
