The Cheese Grille!
Did you know we have the best Grilled Cheese in town right here in our store? That's right! Look no further....
The Cheese Grille is a mini restaurant that operates right out of our own Cheese Department! Featuring mouth-watering selections such as the Classic Grill with Wisconsin Aged Cheddar on buttery challah, the Fig & Blue Cheese Melt, Habanero Double Jack, Gouda and Italian Sandwiches even French Ham and Gruyere Cheese or Shredded Asadero and crumbled Cotija served with salsa fresca, sour cream and guacamole in a fresh tortilla! All served with chips and seasonal fruit!
You can order a Fresh salad with 3 different selections on the menu currently offered, the Soup of the Day, or even a glass of one of our select wines to enjoy with your food!
And don't forget the cheese flights! What is a cheese flight? I'm glad you asked! A Specialty Cheese Flight is an array of assorted cheeses that ranges from the "Local Flight" featuring Pub Cheddar, Monocacy Ash & Meadow Creek Mountaineer, to the "Domestic Flight" which tantalizes with Cowgirl Creamery St. Pat, Stravecchio Parmensan & Rogue Smoked Blue and everything in between!! We highly recommend taking one of our 7 Cheese Flights upstairs and enjoying it with the exceptional wines served on tap in our Upstairs Wine Room, The Enoteca. Just ask at our Cheese Counter for a Cheese Flight and we can pair one for you or you can create your own! All cheese flights are served with your choice of crackers or grapes.
The Cheese Grille is open Thursday and Friday nights for dinner from 5-8pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 12-8pm.
