Our Story

Veggie-forward, Meat friendly


Our menu is focused on giving vegetables the same center of the plate treatment as meat, while still sharing the spotlight. Hospitality drives our every decision. Your time with us is an occasion we don’t take for granted.

Scott Weller


Scott is a 13+ year service industry veteran. You may have seen him over the years tending bar and teaching cocktail classes at Parlour Mpls and most recently at Sooki & Mimi in South Minneapolis. When he isn’t making drinks, he’s curating his borderline-obsessive vinyl collection, playing drums, and living his best life with his wife Rosie and pup Ripley.
