“The salmon was absolutely TOP SHELF! Probably the best seafood I have had in Lawrence…Another wonderful surprise is the number of Gluten Free options on the menu. The GF pasta was a penne pasta and absolutely delicious. They also have a chocolate flourless dessert that is to die for.“
– TH, Lawrence KS
PLANNING A SPECIAL EVENT?
Our semi-private dining rooms are best suited for groups from 12 to 40 guests. Your event manager will handle all the details while you focus on enjoying your event. Choose from cocktails + appetizers, a family-style buffet, or full-plated meals all filled with fresh from-scratch food. Our expert sommelier will pair hand-selected wine with your custom menu to match your taste + mood. Let us focus on the details and ensure that your event is inappropriately good.
“Ended up here for brunch on Father’s day. Sat at the bar and watched them make fresh squeezed orange juice and other concoctions. Their bloody mary got rave reviews from my other half. The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious. Will definitely be back for dinner.“
– AJ, Lawrence KS
