As the growing season transitions from late spring to summer produce, our Spring Tasting Menu is coming to a close. It's not too late (yet!) to experience the current menu before the shift.

One of our favorite courses that you don't want to miss: Chef Grace's house-made pierogi filled with ricotta, fresh herbs, and young greens and finished with a bright hit of preserved lemon and olive oil.

Book your tasting menu now to experience this current menu before the seasons change.

Scratch-made poptarts are wildly impractical. So obviously we do it anyway.

Hand-cut dough. Fillings made from local farm fruit. Seasonal flavors.

Because the best things are the things that take the most care.

Our current flavor features blueberry filling and streusel topping. Available daily in limited quantities until sold out.

What flavors are you hoping to see this summer?

Our Spring Tasting Menu is our love letter to the flavors of Midwest Spring.

Juicy strawberries. Zesty radishes. Sweet spring peas. Rhubarb. Morel mushrooms.

Each course is thoughtfully crafted with peak-season ingredients and paired with wines selected to beautifully complement every flavor.

Because peak Spring is such a fleeting season, this menu will only be here for a short time.

Now booking nightly via “Experiences” on OpenTable (Reservations on our website, linked in bio).
