Fifth course offerings have showcased the creativity, of Colby's wife, co-owner, and renowned pastry chef, Megan Garrelts. Sweet endings may include dark chocolate mousse or pumpkin and spice cake with goat cheese, pecan, sage and brown butter ice cream. Perfect wine pairings chosen by a highly experienced sommelier and knowledgeable, friendly servers enhance your meal too.
