Our take on a classic wedge salad.

The creamy blue cheese dressing is house-made with a blend of sharp confit shallot and horseradish, balancing the bright lemon juice and vinegar. The wedge is garnished with an array of bacon, crumbled blue cheese, and halved rainier cherries, and finally sprinkled with chives.

Cut into this crisp, tangy wedge every weekday for lunch.
