Sweet Potato Caramel Meringue Pie

Serves 8-12 $16.50
Locally grown and harvested sweet potatoes are freshly roasted and pureed with a blend of harvest spices and pure,
rich cream to create the perfect pie filling – flavorful, but not overly sweet.
Each pie is baked to perfection and cooled.
We then pipe in a swirl of our decadent, house-made caramel.
Finally, the pies are topped with toasted meringue.
This treat is sure to become a new Thanksgiving tradition.

Vanilla Caramel Mixed Nut Pie

Serves 8-12 $16.50
A flavorful blend of toasted almond, walnut, pecan and macadamia nut is layered over our delicious
vanilla caramel filling and baked in our famous shortbread crust.
The result is a rich, satisfying alternative to pecan pie.
Serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or good-quality vanilla ice cream.

Sour Cream Apple Pecan Praline Crumb Pie

Serves 8-12 $16.50
Layers of beautiful local apples, dressed with a touch of sugar and spice,
are piled high and deep into our buttery pie crust and baked with sour cream custard.
Delicate vanilla crumb and toasted pecan praline are sprinkled onto each pie.

Pumpkin Black Currant Brioche Bread Pudding

Serves 8-12 $16.50
Tender, locally harvested pumpkins are roasted to perfection and
blended with harvest spices and vanilla egg custard.
House-made brioche bread cubes form the base for pudding,
which is dotted with sweet, black currants and baked until golden brown.
This pudding is served warm with a spoonful (or two!) of rum hard sauce
(provided with each pudding).
Warming instructions included.

Chocolate Truffle Mousse Pie

Serves 8-12 $18.00
Our famous buttery shortbread crust is filled with a generous layer of creamy chocolate truffle.

good morning valentine

The band’s influences include an eclectic mix of music from the last four decades, from Motown and 60’s rock and pop, to late 70’s songwriters such as Elvis Costello and Tom Waits. Modern groups like Wilco and Belle & Sebastian also play a part in shaping the band’s sound.

Randy Martin

Randy Martin is a lead singer and guitar player with Gorilla Danish. He began playing guitar in 1959. In 2003 he was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and could no longer play bar chords. Rather than quit, he created an open tuning in the key of B. This unusual tuning and key matched his baritone voice. Since 2004, he has been performing as a solo act (Randy Martin: The Lost Classics) perfecting his melody-finger slide finger-picking style and creating arrangements of somewhat forgotten R&B and R&R tunes from the 60s into an interesting presentation made further engaging by the information he delivers about the song writers between tunes. Musicians and non-musicians alike are attracted to his unusual stylings. He plays frequently in his home base of Cleveland and also in Chicago and Milwaukee.

Justin Miller and his band join us for what might be one of the last of our evenings on the patio. This sweet three-piece sings over a delicate but spunky tapestry of acoustic pop. Wordy enough for the erudite without leaving the lovelorn rabble without choruses to whistle home.

Justin Miller Band

http://www.myspace.com/justinmillermusic

Two man acoustic band where we playing songs from the 60’s through today. Rolling stones, Bare Naked Ladies, Johnny Cash, to Kenny Chesney Jimmy Buffet, CCR, all acoustic.

Tim Matson and Mike Modlin have played together and separately in some of the best known Cleveland blues bands since the mid-seventies. As a two guitar team they have earned a reputation for giving just the right support to a wide variety of singer-harmonica players. They formed the duo, Natural Facts in 1992. Although their music is rooted in the blues tradition, they are dedicated to the idea of two people enjoying playing music about living in their own time and place.
