“We hope to give our patrons the opportunity to taste regional specialties from the comfort and convenience of downtown La Grange,” said Chef Nick Baca. “The end of one season and the beginning of another gives us a chance to release some new seasonal items and it’s a really exciting time for the restaurant.”
