Although the special changes, the appetizers stay the same, this includes: Calamari, Truffle Fries, Meatball Romesco, Spinach Artichoke Dip, Clams and Mussels, Caesar and House Salad, and Smoked Wings. Each, specialized, if a customer is gluten free or has any other allergy. 

 Head chef, Dennis Etter, is determined at striving for perfection within and outside the kitchen. Etter invents delicious food specials each week and experiments with unusual gourmet products. After dinner is served, Etter goes out and talks with the members about how their experience has been so far. If a special request is made, the chef will make sure the request is granted.

The specials range from Steak and Lobster to a Gourmet Hamburger and the mouthwatering desserts consist of: Homemade Creme Brulee, Hazelnut Crunch, Carrot Cake, German Chocolate Cake, and NY Style Cheesecake. With the occasional homemade donuts, the kitchen staff always delivers the best of the best. When given the question: If you would recommend an entree and appetizer for a newcomer, what would it be? Angelia Etter answered: “Appetizer would be a spinach artichoke dip, and as an entree, a boursin filet.” 

 With so many delicious options, you might be wondering where they get inspiration from. Angelia Etter remarked, “With so many years hes(Dennis) got a good catalog for stuff, with inspiration coming from YouTube and cooking shows.” A new look every day, the menu has plenty of options to cook from.
