Communal dining is a quintessential human experience. With that understanding, we simply must serve great food. In-season, locally sourced with quality ingredients, and impeccably prepared – for lunch and dinner. We'll be a gathering place for the community and guests in a fresh and new space that honors the legacy of the Lodge, while tantalizing the palette with flavors that celebrate the bounty that the area has to offer – from lush produce to the freshest catch. We aim to offer fair and approachable pricing – inviting locals regularly and inspiring visitors to make the trip – and to serve meals with the warmth and care of being in someone's home.

    The food was wildly underseasoned - pretty much everything we ordered needed acid and salt including the focaccia somehow We didn't get spoken to by a server for nearly twenty minutes after we sat down The room was beautiful and the views couldn't be beat but the meal was expensive and just not that special.

    Energetic and precise service from Christine. The Farm lettuces, scallops & oyster mushroom risotto were all very well prepared. Outstanding evening.

    Excellent drinks, deserts, loved the short ribs, but the risotto was more like a rice porridge than a risotto, need to work on it more

    For such a beautiful setting the food was only passable. The staff was excellent and the food was delivered fairly quickly but the food was just so so. We had a decent salad for a started and my husband had the risotto. It was supposed to be a mushroom risotto but had so much wine that the mushroom flavor was missing. I had steak which was simply flavorless. My son had short ribs which I thought were very good but neither of my table mates were impressed. Overall none of us would be inclined to going there again especially given the price.

    Service frenetic One waitress very snarky and pestering Took 20 min to get a cocktail Ordered MR meat. It arrived very well done Sent back It came back cooked properly but missing item in the dish The staff interrupts conversation every time they come to table— to refill water, remove plate, Check if we are “holding up ok” It was a bit frantic and exhausting in a lovely setting

    We ordered cocktails at the bar. Great drinks! We were promptly seated and greeted. Our server was just the right amount of attentive and helped us with some menu decisions. The scallop entree was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly and the sides with both entrees were perfect. Ended with yummy desserts.
