The Grand Ultimatum

Every Tuesday evening from 7-9pm, we feature the talents of singer/pianist Jessica Mashburn. She performs music of all genres in her own jazzy/eclectic style to accompany your dining experience perfectly. The Bistro, opened October 2008, by a mother / daughter team offers a casual fine dining experience in a quaint and intimate setting. The seasonal menu changes include many items from local farmers and growers, fresh seafood, Certified Angus Beef and much more. This local favorite is the perfect setting for business dinners, private events, special occasions or an evening spent with friends. We look forward to an opportunity to share our passion for food and wine with you.

The live show is a combination of brilliant composition met with innovative, playful and contagious energy.
