The new "Mity Nice Big Kid's Menu" is for children 12 years old and under who have the developed palate of adults but the stomach of youngsters, featuring some of the same dishes as the main menu, but in child-size portions. Big Kid plates include: Homemade Cashew Butter & Jelly Sandwich with crusts cut away; Silver Service Hot Dog with all the fixings, Thanksgiving Dinner with oven-roasted turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce; Cedar-Planked Maple-Glazed Salmon with fresh market vegetable and much more! Desserts options are a Cup of Dirt & Worms, Ice Cream Sundae with hot fudge or butterscotch; and Homemade Cupcake. The menu also features games for the kiddies to play-like puzzles, Sudoku and tricky questions to "Stump Your Parents"-while waiting for their scrumptious meal.

$5 wines by the glass will win over wine enthusiasts! On Mondays, every wine label in the restaurant is $5 by the glass, all day long-a sure way to beat the Monday blues.
