Who We Are

Locally owned, our team is passionate about providing the community with a gathering place that is as inviting as it is healthy; as friendly as it is delicious.

ARTWORK & DESIGN: Our ambiance is as plant-centric as our menu, featuring colorful original art by Virgilio family members Lindsay Virgilio and Mary Rose Deraco. The vision of owner Susan Virgilio, custom planter boxes, furnishings carefully chosen for comfort and a multitude of garden oriented wall coverings offer up four distinctive spaces – both inside and out – designed to turn you into a regular.
