Lunch Menu
Lunch joins the breakfast board at eleven. For four hours both are live at once, which is why a table of four here never has to compromise.
Seven sections, thirty-six dishes: soups and salads, small plates and good stuff to share, thin-crust pizza, sides, burgers, sandwiches, and salads and bowls.
The small plates section is the one to know about. Nine items designed for sharing, most of them under ten dollars, and the fastest way to feed a table that has forty minutes rather than ninety.
