Food menu highlights

For food connoisseurs and cocktail aficionados, the options are equally enticing. Whether you choose to bask in the back patio’s ambiance adorned with succulents from Succulent Coffee, perch at the stylish bar, or nestle into a cozy booth, be prepared to embark on a sensory journey that promises to captivate your taste buds.

Rob McShea shares, “This revamped menu reinvents classic cocktails like the mule, old fashioned, and espresso martini with spirited, autumnal twists. My personal favorites include the Harvest Mule, the smoky S’mores Old Fashioned, and the Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini. These cocktails are thoughtfully designed to complement a selection of small bar bites from the menu, creating a harmonious culinary experience.”

Among the food menu highlights at Q&A are the Charbroiled Oysters seasoned with Cajun spice, garlic lemon butter, and parmesan, the hearty Gumbo featuring chicken and sausage, and the delectable Fried Chicken drizzled with chili honey during the happy hour.
