A Taste of The Tasting Room
at the 2025 Grand Tasting
When bold flavor meets fine detail, something unforgettable happens. On August 23, find us at the Grand Tasting at the Open Space — where we’re serving a pair of exclusive bites crafted for the most discerning palates.
- Black Garlic Steak Bites – Prime filet seared to perfection, kissed with our house-made black garlic cream.
- Signature Meatballs – Rich, tender, and slow-simmered in our velvety tomato cream sauce — a Tasting Room favorite.
Just two bites. That’s all it takes to fall in love with what we do.
