They serve up ‘farm-to-fork’ food, with the owner describing the spot as “bringing casual upscale dining to a modern atmosphere,” focused on Southwest, Italian, and New American dishes.
A few favorites include the butternut squash enchiladas, a sweet corn tamale, loaded duck tots, and the ‘John Wayne’ burger, which comes with bacon, muenster, garlic mayo, crispy onions, and chipotle barbecue.
