Fresh-to-You Everything

In the back of the kitchen is an herb garden where we grow all of our own herbs, along with green onions and chives. We use wild-caught shrimp and scallops from the Gulf of Mexico, and our micro-green and artisan lettuce come from a local Texan farmer. Our eggs come from free range, grain-fed chicken.

Set the Mood with Our Full Bar

Choose from a selection of more than 100 wines, all available by the glass. Or kick back with classic favorites such as the Bloody Mary, Mojito, Margarita, Dirty Martini, or a Champagne Cocktail. These are made with a new, fresh twist which has resulted in a reputation with the locals for the best Cocktails in town.
