Fire · Season · Table
A wood-fired neighborhood restaurant on Alder Row — where oak embers, market produce and an open kitchen turn dinner into an occasion.
Reserve a TableFrom the hearth, everything begins. We cook the way people have gathered for centuries — over open flame, with our hands, for the room in front of us.
The Room
Forty seats gathered around the fire, a marble counter facing the flames, and enough greenery and candlelight to make a Tuesday feel like a celebration.
Our banquettes were built by a joiner two streets over; the plates are thrown by a potter we share a garden with. Everything here is meant to be touched, passed and finished slowly.
