Welcome to our home, where all the magic (the cooking and service) is executed by two people only – Ricardo and chef Justė. When creating this evolving menu, we work with the seasons, relying on what’s available from local farms and makers. Some ingredients are foraged, some are grown by us.

A note on dietary restrictions – most can be accommodated (vegetarian, no gluten, dairy intolerance, nuts, etc) – please leave us a comment when reserving, indicating how many people in the party with restrictions. For allergies (Celiac, dairy allergy, alliums, tannins, alpha gal, etc.) and multiple restrictions, please make a note and call to leave a message. Please specify when cross-contact is an issue (we have one shared fryer). With advance notice we are able to offer the most options.
