For over 25 years, Food Dance has been committed to building a thriving and sustainable local food system.
We support artisans who practice craft food processes that have been around for generations—growing, raising, preserving, curing, aging, pickling, butchering and more.
For us, it’s about the connection with the people and places our food comes from.
Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner–guests are served the freshest menu items in a casual and welcoming atmosphere with knowledgeable service for people to come together and connect through the experience of food.
