What is your favorite way to give back to the community?Operating a small independent restaurant gives us many ways to easily interact with and give back to the community. We are continually opening our space to numerous philanthropic fundraisers, hosting pop ups, receptions and diners. We started variouswomen’s initiatives to create a space where women can feel comfortable dining, networking, conducting business or simply having fun. We are very creative in the ways we bring community together by offering literary, fine art, music, fashion, wine and food events at affordable prices.
