We are a high-low, fine-casual concept making simple, seasonal American cuisine inspired by the culinary traditions of Italy, France, & Spain. Expect to see dishes that you are used to seeing at fancy restaurants & some you would typically find at a drive-thru or dive bar. but they all are served on a plate from Goodwill. Our menus are ever-changing, not just by the season but by the day. we embrace change, creativity & inspiration every chance we get.For groups of 2 people, we recommend ordering 4-6 dishes from the three sections of the menu (depending on how hungry you are!). for example - 2 snacks, 1 small share plate, & 1 large share plate.The food is designed to be enjoyed family-style. As such, your food will be coursed out as we see fit. for groups ordering individually, we will do our best to get your order out all at once, but you may experience some slightly longer wait times.We can’t wait to see you!

    Every time I show up one of the owners is at the door to welcome me and and the other owner is on the line, hands on with every dish. High brow food in a welcoming atmosphere, time and again the pleasure repeats itself with this crew! Cheers to that, Abram

    The service was impeccable! Our server, an amiable young fellow, took our order by memory! An amazing feat at any age. The cocktails were innovative, and the food was very good. I am looking forward to returning very soon to try more of the cocktail and food selections. And... there were fresh flowers on every table, which adds a lot to a pleasurable dining experience.

    He had a great dinner with great service. Food was excellent. Really enjoyed the sunset had the risotto but we started with the clam chowder, which is probably one of the best to comb the peanut butter pie, which was excellent and they always have great drinks here.
