                  Finding your next meal in an old bank-turned-restaurant is a worthy
              investment — particularly when the restaurant is also a distillery where
              hospitality and great spirits combine (vodka, gin, bourbon, rum and whiskey are
              all produced here). The food menu is as innovative and unique as the drinks,
              with a mix of classic American standards like burgers
              sharing space on the menu with Pan Seared Scallops,
              Pork Schnitzel, and Asian-inspired Pork Belly Ramen.

                 “We want our guests to experience a wide variety
              of flavor profiles,” owner Adam Flatt says of the Pork
              Belly Ramen. “Using influences from all over the world,
              the pork ramen is fresh, flavorful, and unique for an
              American-style restaurant. Many of our regulars return to
              enjoy this dish.”

                  The Ramen was once run only as a special, but was
              so popular that Flatt decided to add it to the full-time
              menu. It’s one of the restaurant’s eight large plates, and
              there are 10 small plates and snacks available, along
              with soups, salads, and sandwiches.
