$$ - .5 mi north. Nightly specials- we love Meatloaf night ! Hopefully they still have it.
We also love making it a Tapas night with PEI mussels, sweet pea risotto and fried goat cheese, and the passion fruit and walnut salad. Miller high life special every night and a different Margarita every night.
