About

Farm-to-table dining on Main Street in downtown Sarasota since 2016. Our seasonal menu is built around local Florida farms: grass-fed beef and bison, wild-caught Gulf shrimp, pasture-raised eggs, and the most creative plant-based dishes in the city. We cook with organic ingredients, use seed-oil-free cooking, sprouted grains, and alternative flours. Our wine list features small-farm biodynamic producers. Whether you eat vegan, gluten-free, or just love a well-raised steak — there's a plate here for you. Dine in Tue–Sun. Reservations and walk-ins welcome.
