Our Way of Cooking

A kitchen that takes its orders from the land.

Four convictions shape every plate we send out — and they haven't changed in twelve seasons.

Grown Within Fifty Miles

We name every farm on the menu. What we can't grow ourselves, we source from neighbors we shake hands with at the Saturday market.

Cooked Over Live Fire

A single oak-fired hearth anchors our kitchen. Embers, smoke, and patience do most of the seasoning before salt ever touches the plate.

Written by the Season

The menu changes the morning the deliveries arrive. Spring peas in May, winter squash by October — never a tomato out of its month.

Served by Candlelight

Low light, long tables, and unhurried courses. We built a room you'll want to linger in long after the last plate is cleared.

The Hearth

One oak fire, lit since 2014.

Almost everything that reaches your table has met live flame — vegetables buried in embers, fish cooked on the bone, bread baked in the heat the fire leaves behind. Smoke is our quietest seasoning, and patience does the rest.

What our table hears

The most honest plate of food I've eaten all year. You can taste the soil it came from — in the best possible way.

We came for an anniversary and stayed three hours. The hearth-roasted carrots alone are worth the drive upstate.
