Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Dedicated to using ingredients only found within the local food system, James Beard award-winning chef Spike Gjerde puts on a hearth show and feast every evening. From pork to trout to rabbit, each dish proves to be complex and impressive. The space is unique in that it is nestled within the vaulted ceiling of an old neoclassical church. The open kitchen is the focus of the restaurant and can be seen regardless of where you sit. Small details like the sealed menus, which open with a poem, make the experience feel more grand. Enjoy brunch, a local selection of wines, or a luxurious dinner.
