Dubbed a "Chicago type restaurant," this breakfast, lunch and dinner hot spot sources local ingredients to create a tasty menu. Produce is local organic, meat is direct from Wisconsin, and bread comes from Heavenly Hearth. Outdoor seating overlooks a sidewalk cafe-style, and provides a perfect accompaniment to the farm-to-table dishes.
