food menu will be available every Friday and

“I wanted to bring a big city feel from my
home in Los Angeles to my new home in
Pensacola. We are ecstatic to have handcrafted
metal archways by Ben Bogan, handblown
glass art by Joe Hobbs and wood fi red
ceramic pottery by Ben Twingley. It was
very important to me that the menu have
vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options
alongside our classic pot roast, meatloaf and
french dip egg rolls.” Aimée Wilson, Owner
