For sharing

Cheese board and charcuterie board

The current special menu does not list a fixed cheese board or charcuterie board. For sharing, start with seasonal starters, cheese mousse, crispy onion rings, or ask the team for the best plates to pair with wine and beer.

The menu changes seasonally, so the most accurate answer is at the table or by phone.
