Guess what? We decided to make Wine Wednesday at The Raven a permanent thing! At least for a while.

Last week, all but one table dining with us chose to put their phones away for the evening in exchange for a $1 bottle of wine. We’d call that a pretty good start.

Here’s how it works:

Turn in your phones to your server, enjoy dinner, and receive a featured bottle of wine for just $1.

Each week we’ll feature one red, one white, and one rosé.

One bottle per two guests. Must be accompanied by a meal. The entire table must participate. (Otherwise, what’s the point?)

It’s time to put the phones down and pick the uninterrupted conversations back up.

See you tonight.

A few returning favorites, a few new surprises, and plenty of reasons to make a reservation. 🖤

The patio is officially open!

Getting this space ready was truly a family affair. A special thank you to Scott’s brother and his company, Balanced Environments, LLC, for helping us with the planter boxes. They turned out beautifully and help make the space feel exactly how we envisioned it.

We’re excited to finally welcome you outside for dinner, drinks, and a little fresh air.

A few things to know before you come:
• Please check in at the host stand inside to be seated on the patio.
• Patio seating is available on a first come, first served basis. We will not be taking reservations for patio seating.
• As much as we love your four legged friends, pets are not permitted on the patio. (Except for Major, he was part of the setup crew 🤣)
• Smoking and va**ng is also not permitted.

Now all that’s left is to grab a seat, order a drink, and enjoy the evening with us.

Isn’t the point of dinner to unplug, relax, and enjoy the company of others?

We think so! So we are reimagining what Wine Wednesday looks like.

Join us on Wednesday, turn in your phones to your server (we’ll keep them safe!), and enjoy a bottle of one of our Featured Wines for just $1 with your meal.

Are we crazy? Absolutely! But we believe in connections and community. Let’s lower our phones, and raise our glasses.

See you at The Raven!

The bros are behind the bar. Brotending, if you will. (By bros we mean Drake and Randy)

Come let them mix something up, order your current favorite, and enjoy them while you can… because a new seasonal menu is coming soon and some of these dishes are about to disappear.

We had to show a sneak peek of these incredible custom pieces for The Raven and give a shoutout to the insanely talented local artist behind them. 🖤

Handmade by Misty Lane of Misty Lane Ceramics, these custom pieces feel like they were literally made for our space. Moody, earthy, and… very Raven.

We can’t wait to put them to use.

Go show her some love:

Picture this: you, our current feature, and your favorite person sitting across from you.

Coffee & ancho chili-rubbed pork ribeye with pickled swiss chard, parsnip purée, and smoked cherry gastrique.

Pair it with one of our wine features (a Rosé or Pinot Noir) if you trust us. Or don’t. We’ll still make it for ya.

Open tonight from 4pm - 9pm.

We know you're ready for patio season... especially with these sunny days.

Trust us, we are too.

We're not quite there yet, but SOON.

In the meantime, the cocktails are cold, the specials are running, and the best staff in town is waiting inside.

Some people meal prep for the week.
Some people let Scott cook instead.

We’re not here to tell you how to live your life… but we do hope when you’re making your dinner plans for this week, you’ll let us fill a slot.

A flaky mushroom tart. A little too much pasta. A burger you’ll think about again tomorrow.

We’ll be here.
Tues - Sat / 4pm - 9pm
