A great restaurant meal can be an act of storytelling and transportation. Sliding onto a stool at a bar, being met with a classy and silky martini punctuated with a briny olive, is there to prepare you for a plate of finely-shucked oysters that were bobbing in the Atlantic 36 hours ago. In this moment the noise and cacophony can melt away, your phone finds its way back into your pocket, and we find communion with those of us on our left and right.We place a premium on doing the work to find producers, growers, and ranchers that have values that align with our own. It’s our desire to bring food to your table that speaks to its sense of place and time, and to be able to bring the connection to those producers to a higher level of consciousness.

    We had dinner before going to the zoo lights. The food was so delicious. We were greeted so nicely, I think a miscommunication happened because then we sat 25 mins with no drink orders. But nonetheless when we did get a server IT WAS WONDERFUL. Thank you

    The restaurant was busy and we had a rezo for 4 people but at the last minute it was just 2 of us. The hostess sat us at a lovely 4 top, rather than a small 2 top. It started the evening off great. Our server was excellent as was the food and drink!

    We went to the Gingerbread House Decorating party. So. Much. Fun. Everyone got a gingerbread house kit, a delicious birria arepa, and a cocktail or mocktail. There was also a DJ playing holiday music. We had a great time building our houses, which came out cute, and really appreciated not having to clean up our icing mess! This is a fun activity I would recommend to friends or families. We were two generations of adults, but there were a few kids there. Most were 20 and 30-something’s. Oh, we also ordered guacamole and queso that were yummy!
