A vibrant new addition will be coming to the West 6th Street dining and bar scene in May 2020. The project will feature barnyard contemporary fare delivered through a beautifully composed vegetable-forward menu that highlights regionally sourced meat, fish, and poultry. The focus on indigenous sourcing and artful composition enhances the restaurant's vision to share authentic, hearty and healthful dining experiences. The restaurant includes a 76 seat dining room and a 60 seat bar and lounge area, as well as outdoor patio dining. The outdoor patio will seat 74 and offers a relaxing oasis tucked away from the bustling street beyond. The morning coffee counter will offer house-made pastries, breads, and espresso from a native Austin roaster. The design for the bar and restaurant evokes a chic but comfortable aesthetic just right for anything from a crafted beverage experience to all day dining. Conceived and constructed by local Austin developers, Scenic Capital, this restaurant will be adjacent to the Canopy hotel and add to their W 6th St. portfolio that includes Holy Roller and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Icehouse.
