“We’re just a small space. we’re only 32 seats”
The focus is to offer seasonal menus, curated cocktails, and wines you typically can’t find elsewhere. Their major ingredients are sourced as locally as possible, often from farms in Pictou County. When talking about the menu, Tom and Willow could not only list the ingredients for the dishes, but where those ingredients came from, which is impressive. Their most popular dish is the mushroom and bacon casarecce,
with Porter River Farm and Forage mushrooms and smoked bacon from The Pork Shop. It also has caramelized onions, egg yolk, black garlic cream sauce, and Grana Padano cheese. Another popular menu item is their roasted pulled chicken, which is an addition to the pasta menu— as an add-on and comes from Crossroads Country Farm.
“Whenever you DO something new half the people aren’t going to
click into it right away”
