Father's day?! How's about Father's weekend?! Let's celebrate our favorite guys with the ultimate surf and turf! All weekend long! 🥩🦀🦪
Why choose between land and sea when you can have the absolute best of both? This weekend, we’re serving up a massive 16 oz T-Bone Steak, grilled to absolute perfection and paired with char-grilled asparagus and a fully loaded baked potato.
But we didn't stop there. You get to choose your own seafood adventure to crown the plate:
✨ Option 1: Half a sweet, chilled Dungeness Crab 🦀
✨ Option 2: Three colossal, flame-grilled prawns 🦐
✨ Option 3: Six fresh, briny oysters on the half shell 🦪
$60 plus options for multiple seafood selections!
What’s in your glass? 🍻🥃
An epic meal requires an epic pairing. Whether you want to wash it down with one of our 12 ice-cold beers on draft, or elevate your evening with a pour from the best whiskey selection in Thurston County, our bar team has you completely covered.
These plates are huge, the drinks are cold, and tables will fill up fast.

⏰ Serving all weekend long starting Friday at 4 PM. Race you to the table!

Fresh flowers, fresh food, and fast horses—the ultimate weekend pairing. 🌸🐴✨
We are packing up the trucks, prepping the kitchen, and heading out to Aspen Farms for the Spring Horse Trials this weekend!
While our team is busy making sure the menu is absolutely flawless for the crowds, we couldn't resist showing off a little bit of the gorgeous floral vibe setting the scene. Because let’s be honest: watching world-class equestrian action tastes even better when the food is incredible and the view is this pretty. 😉
To the amazing crew working behind the scenes to pull off this weekend's magic: let’s do this! And to all the riders, spectators, and guests at Aspen Farms: get ready for a phenomenal weekend. See you by the course! 🥂🍽️

Whew, what a weekend! 😮💨
First off, a massive THANK YOU to our amazing regulars and everyone who absolutely packed the house from Friday straight through today! You kept our kitchen sprinting, our front-of-house on their toes, and you officially cleaned us out—we completely SOLD OUT of Sunday brunch! 🥞🥓 There is truly nothing better than a dining room constantly bursting with great energy, loud laughs, and clean plates.
We also noticed we were the stars of a 100+ comment drama-fest on the local community page this week. 🍿 While the internet was busy typing, we were busy cooking, pouring, and running food all weekend long! Haters gonna hate, but our regulars are gonna eat.
Thank you guys for showing up where it actually matters: at the tables, supporting local business, and keeping our community vibrant. We love you guys! Time to rest our feet and restock the kitchen. ❤️🥂

Its hot outside. No worries; the freezie machine is on full blast so you can stay cool. And the grapes are leafy and casting nice shade on the patio!

Statistically, 100% of Mondays happen at the exact start of the workweek. It’s a terrible system, and we’re protesting the only way we know how: All-Day Happy Hour.
From open to close, the drinks are cheap and the judgment is zero. If anyone asks, you’re just doing some intensive "networking" and "market research." 🤫🍸
See you at the bar. You've earned it (and it’s only 5 PM).
