Our Story

How this started

We opened in a former machine shop in 2019 with sixteen seats, one oven, and a menu written on a chalkboard because we couldn't afford to print one. The chalkboard stayed.

The cooking is simple on purpose. Good ingredients, a hot fire, and salt. We buy from four farms within an hour's drive, which is why the menu changes so often — we cook what they bring.

The room is small and it gets loud. That's not an accident either.

Private Events

Buy out the room

We do about two private events a month, usually Mondays and Tuesdays when we're otherwise closed.

The Back Room

Seats 14 · minimum spend $900

Separated from the dining room by a curtain. Works for a birthday, a rehearsal dinner, or a company thing that isn't too big. Available any service night.

Full Buyout

Seats 46 standing, 38 seated · from $4,500

The whole restaurant, Monday or Tuesday. Set menu of four or five courses, wine pairing optional. We'll work out the menu with you a few weeks ahead.

Catering

From 20 people · two weeks notice

Family-style trays from the fire menu, delivered or dropped. We don't staff off-site events, but we'll tell you who does it well around here.

Before you come

Do you take large parties?

Up to six online. Seven or more, email us — we can usually do it, but not on a Friday or Saturday at seven.

Is there a dress code?

No. Wear what you like.

Can you handle allergies?

Yes, tell us when you book and remind your server. The kitchen is small and handles gluten, nuts, and shellfish, so we can't promise zero cross-contact — we'll be straight with you about what's safe.

Are kids welcome?

Early, yes. We don't have a kids' menu but we'll happily do a plain chicken and potatoes. After 8pm the room gets loud and it stops being fun for them.

Friday and Saturday book out

Reservations open 30 days ahead at 9am and the prime times go the same morning. Midweek is easy, and honestly it's the better meal.
