Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program here is built on range rather than a single signature. Cocktails move across vodka, gin, rum, tequila, bourbon, rye, and amaro, with house-made limoncello and other house-made ingredients appearing in multiple drinks. The wine list runs from a $31 Ruffino Pinot Grigio to Silver Oak Cabernet at $205, and sparkling covers Prosecco, Franciacorta, Moët, and Veuve Clicquot. Spirits are poured by the ounce from $7 to $20, with a $80 one-ounce premium pour at the top.
- What should I order?
- The Cucumber Fizz, made with Effen Cucumber Vodka, orange liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and a sour salt-and-pepper rim, is the cocktail the menu builds its signature around. For a classic route, the Maker's 46 Manhattan adds Amaro Montenegro, barrel-aged bitters, and sweet vermouth.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups who want one list to cover a gin drinker, a bourbon drinker, and someone ordering a $13 Prosecco split without splitting the table. Diners who treat a bottle of Amarone or Napa Cabernet as part of the meal rather than an afterthought.
- When should I go?
- Happy hour brings cocktails down to $7.50 to $9.00, which is when the list is easiest to work through.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $10.00 to $16.00, or $7.50 to $9.00 at happy hour. Spirits by the pour are $7.00 to $20.00, with a $80.00 one-ounce premium pour. Wine bottles range $31.00 to $205.00, and a 187 mL Prosecco split is $13.00.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A single list carries Italian regional wine, California Cabernet, French Champagne, and a cocktail section with full ingredient specifications and house-made components. The spread from a $13 Prosecco split to a $205 Silver Oak is wide enough to serve a casual table and a celebration from the same menu.
