Chef Jeremiah Langhorne has focused his menu around sourcing ingredients from Mid-Atlantic farms and purveyors and even growing some onsite on their patio and rooftop garden. You'll find a different menu every day featuring snacks (half dozen oysters, radicchio salad) and small plates (charred squash, beaver creek quail). Don't leave without checking out their drink menu including cocktails, ciders, wine and beer.
