Every dish we create celebrates the incredible diversity, flavor, and nourishing power of gourmet fungi, grown and sourced with care and prepared with passion... From our family farm in Moss Landing, CA straight to your plat.
Our kitchen turns mushrooms into familiar favorites with a unique twist. Lion’s mane becomes a Nashville hot sandwich that rivals fried chicken, while oyster and clamshell mushrooms are simmered into a rich chowder inspired by Moss Landing, and our artisan grilled cheeses showcase the same focus on quality ingredients and bold flavors. We pair these dishes with functional mushroom beverages, including reishi-infused cold brew teas and energizing cordyceps drinks. Every dish and drink is crafted to deliver great flavor while supporting overall wellness... creating a dining experience that nourishes body, mind, and spirit.
