Executive Chef Brad Wise and his team have introduced a few new weekend brunch items to the award-winning menu that are sure to spice things up and give regulars, as well as newbies, some great new options.

In addition, Beverage Director Jessica Stewart has added two new cocktails to the bright, refreshing, and well-balanced bar menu inspired by classic cars in a nod to the restaurant location’s vintage car dealership roots.

The complete list of new brunch and beverage offerings includes:
