What sets us apart? Glad you asked.

We make delicious food.

Yeah we do! We are culinary-inspired, cooking up creative twists on classic dishes and new tastes to highlight local flavors.

We love local.

We love serving local, fresh ingredients not only because they taste better, but it supports our community of local businesses and farmers...and it's the right thing to do.

We give a damn about the environment:
