New Summer Hours for Leader Block Announced:
With Love, and Regret and Resolve...
Our new summer hours have changed. We will be closed on Mondays AND Tuesdays now, but will stay open one hour longer in the evenings - after all it's light out till almost 10 pm! We look forward to continue serving you all.
We are hiring!
Alrighty, folks. As you may have heard, the entire country has a staffing shortage in the restaurant industry. Due to Covid-19, many professionals shifted out of our field and moved elsewhere (real estate, back to school, etc.).
There are MANY places that have closed as a result.
We are sad to say, we are facing the same reality if we don't find some kick-ass people to be a part of something special!
We are ready to offer higher-than-normal wages.
Specifically seeking Line Cooks, Sous Chef, Saute, Prep and Dishwashers. Also need experienced bartenders.
We love positivity, creativity, honesty, and horsepower! 
Email amberleighsomm@gmail.com with any questions, ideas, resume, etc ASAP.
HELP US KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN!
Jon Mutchler on the Piano!
Sunday nights from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm
