Description

Specialties

The inspiration for the menu comes from owner, Joe Gleason’s many years in the food business. The menu is an eclectic take on island-​inspired, Caribbean cuisine dishes with influences from many places. The menu includes appetizers such as Fire-​Roasted Artichokes with sherry-​shallot vinaigrette & roasted garlic aioli. The salads should not be overlooked, as they are not your every day salad. The Caesar has a red chile dressing with toasted almonds and asiago cheese. Also on the menu are specialty Taco’s including fish taco’s, Pork Mango taco’s, Shrimp taco’s, and Chicken taco’s. The Burritos are a must try. There are House Specialties that include Yellow Curry Noodles, a Veggie Curry dish, Salmon and Shrimp Curry. Grilled sandwiches, soups and sides are all crowd pleasers. The menu offers a children’s menu as well.
