"Jeff Tonidandel and Jamie Brown hit every detail in their first attempt at turning an old church into a food palace (the former Bonterra in Dilworth is up next), from the cavernous dining room with a live-fire open kitchen to the polished gem of a bar next door, presided over by cocktail queen Colleen Hughes. The menu can seem pricey, but it’s packed with local ingredients and it’s all meant to be shared, like a family dinner at a table loaded with deliciousness. Wagyu pot roast, miso mac and cheese, and broccoli grilled with bone marrow butter will barely leave room for desserts like salted honey pie. But try." - Timothy DePeugh, Kathleen Purvis
