    Everything is made fresh! This place takes initiative to go green. It gets loud at dinner time and they seem to have live music regularly. Definitely a must go!

    Great relationships with local farms give this place an amazing selection of fresh meats and produce that they prepare into the most delicious meals around. And the craft beer selection is plentiful!

    The beer menu is at least 3x the length of the food menu. Don't be afraid to ask the waitstaff for a recommendation -- they know their stuff.

    Get the Vegan Slayer, but order it rare and add bacon and a fried egg. I dub this the Epic Burger. You'll thank me later.
