this dish is a bit dramatic. we know.

the bread lands the entrance — burrata, local heirloom tomatoes, basil.
a good way to ease into the evening. burrata's never had to convince anyone.

naramata bench, in a glass, on a sunday.

1 mill road's pinot noir rosé — light, dry, gone too fast. we're shut all day saturday (today) for a wedding, so sunday's the move: $10 mystery glasses, 20% off bottles, and who knows — this could be the one you get.

potato salad

not the potluck kind.
ours comes with crisp herbs, aged cheddar, a little cured pork for weight — nothing at the table you'd expect, everything you'd want.

french onion dip is not a new idea. but you should try ours.
now that we're making our own chips in house, the whole thing got more fun — seasoned like sour cream and onion, because we like things that match.

also available during happy hour

the kind of plate that gets an "oh wow" out of people on the first bite.

scallops, thin cucumber, strawberries — or whatever fruit's peaking that week.

simple, cold, exactly what you want when it's hot out.

the menu says one thing. the walk-in says another.

a farmer drops off a box, and suddenly what's fresh outranks what's written. this is the part of the job nobody sees — sorting through what showed up before we decide what's for dinner.
