“The ribeye alone is worth the trip. Everything is cooked over real wood fire — you can taste the difference. Best dinner I've had in Austin, no contest.”

Founded in 2016 in Austin's vibrant 6th Street corridor, we partner with over 20 local farms to bring seasonal, honest food to your table every night. Our open kitchen centers around a custom oak-wood hearth — every dish carries the warmth and character of real fire cooking. We're not just a restaurant. We're a gathering place.
