We believe life is more sweet when lived genuinely, simply, humbly. We embrace the natural beauty of this world by serving food, wine and conversation that are unadorned and full of life. The Pacific Northwest is our home and the seasons are our stories. We can’t wait to share them with you. The ingredients we utilize and the wines we serve come from small producers who employee respectful farming methods. The wines are made without manipulation, just as the dishes we create seek to highlight, rather than overpower their ingredients. The forest of Arden in Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’ was a retreat from the pomp and circumstance of the court. It was a haven for those who wished to live off the land and enjoy a simpler life. We invite you to step out of the city and join us in a celebration of nature’s bounty.
