The menu features an array of delicious dishes, including the Chef's Salad with jicama, nectarines, and sesame crunchies, and the Sichuan Style Fish Special with tender marinated walleye and a bunch of chilies. And let's not forget about the drinks! The Strawberry Daiquiri made with local berries from the market is a fan favorite.

They recently offered the "Garden Gnome" drink, with proceeds going to support AAPI heritage month.
