Diners can purchase a wide array of value-driven wines from the adjacent Market to be served with their meal in the restaurant. The extensive drink menu will include a variety of homegrown Michigan wines in addition to those produced nationally and internationally, handcrafted cocktails, infused vodkas and local microbrews.
