Free and paid upgrades

Customize your menu with upgrades like complimentary coffee with dessert, a glass of wine, or an extra family-style dish for the table.

Paid upgrades, such as adding protein to a salad, are permitted as long as the add-on price is disclosed. They should not be applied to entire selections. A diner should be able to select any menu combination for the advertised fixed price.
