According to the cre at the bar/restaurant, Sarazen's menu will focus on approachability and fresh ingredients. Sounds basic, but those are the buliding blocks for a good cocktail program.

Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.

Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
