Upscale refined American with a focus on local ingredients and southern hospitality.

Our evening hours have been reimagined to introduce a refined private dining and event experience, building on the spirit and hospitality of Fork & Barrel. In lieu of the traditional dinner service previously offered at Fork & Barrel, the space will now serve as an intimate setting for celebrations, corporate dinners, and curated culinary events, offering the same elevated atmosphere and attention to detail guests have come to expect. This thoughtful transition allows the team to continue creating memorable dining moments, now in a more personalized and exclusive format.

“Emily and I are excited to share this next chapter for our restaurants and our family,” said Chef Geoffrey Heyde, Owner and Executive Chef. “By focusing fully on brunch and reimagining our dinner space as a private event venue, we’re able to dedicate more time to both our growing business and growing family. We look forward to continuing to welcome our guests, whether it’s for a weekday brunch, a weekend celebration, or a special event in the evening.”
