a bit about us
the table is a place to taste, to smell, and to listen.
the table is a place to bond and to grow, to invite, and to challenge.
the table is a place to raise a glass to loved ones and new neighbours alike.
the table is a place to laugh and confide, to escape and discover.
the table is a place to celebrate successes and mourn losses.
the table is a place to nurture your appetite for food, for love, and for wonder.
and at our table, there is always room for one more.
