Independence
Day Celebration
July 2nd - 4th
This year, America turns 250 — two and a half centuries of independence, growth, and reinvention. This country was shaped by immigrants and descendants from every corner of the globe, each bringing their own traditions, flavors, and stories to the table. That blend of cultures is what makes America, America — and we think the best way to celebrate it is with food.
Join us as we mark this milestone with a celebration of the cultures that helped build this nation. Every guest receives a passport at the door. Complete your passport for a sweet surprise!
