*NEW* Reuben Croquettes with Pastrami, Sauerkraut and Swiss Cheese with Thousand Island Dipping Sauce – $6.00
We loved this. It shares some similarities with a pastrami sandwich, if you’re a fan of those. We’d definitely get this again on a repeat visit.

*NEW* Brown Sugar and Mustard-Glazed Ham Sliders with Cranberry and Apple Coleslaw on a Hawaiian Roll – $6.00
This is not at all a memorable dish. There is a nice balance of sweet and savory flavors, but it overall tastes like grocery store deli meat. It’s not worth your money, and you’re better off making something that tastes and looks similar at home.

*NEW* Bauducco Panettone Holiday Trifle with Eggnog Custard and Cranberry Cherry Compote – $5.25
While the eggnog custard here is good, we’re not fans of panettone. The more you eat, the worse it tastes. We don’t recommend it.

*NEW* Southern Tier Brewing Co. Tiramisu Imperial Stout, Lakewood, NY (10.0% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.
From Southern Tier Brewing Co. on Untappd: “The Blackwater Series presents Tiramisu Imperial Stout in all its layered lusciousness! Toasted sweet malts come together with rich, dark coffee and a silky-smooth finish to recreate the delicate deliciousness of classic Tiramisu!”
*NEW* Keel Farms Pecan Pie Hard Cider, Plant City, FL (5.2% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.
From correspondence with Keel Farms, this is a “pecan pie inspired hard apple cider. Balanced sweetness with hints of pecans, spice and everything nice. A cider for the holiday season made with 100% pure [New York] apple juice.”
*NEW* Point Snow Pilot Pistachio Nut Brown Ale, Stevens Point, WI (6.0% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.
