Chef-owner Adam VanDonge’s intimate, reservation-only dining room delivers a monthly changing French-influenced menu and a splash of theater at the Knox Vault Chef’s Table. Recognized as a 2023 James Beard Awards semifinalist, it’s become Topeka’s fine-dining benchmark. Featured by KANSAS! Magazine for its locally rooted approach.
