Tina Harbert
CATERING MANAGER
I love what I do. I have awesome staff I work along side of. I visit different venues and work closely with guest & love when I can transform an empty room into elegant layout with food and such.
Outside of work: I love spending time with my husband & animals while four wheeling in the woods.

Mark Bongiorno
GENERAL MANAGER
Coming from a traditional Italian family food has always been a focal point in my life, so when it came time to get my first job it made sense for me to work in a restaurant. It was at a local mom and pop restaurant doing dishes and busing tables and I was immediately hooked. I love the atmosphere of celebrating, socializing and making people happy with good food and drinks. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I worked as a bartender during college and later on in the kitchen and management. Fast-forward 35 years later and I am still doing what I love in the restaurant business. What I really love the most is working in the front of the house for the excitement of meeting all different walks of life.
Outside of work: I love to travel, cook, ski, swim, and dine out.

Derek Merrill
CHEF
Ever since I was five years old I have enjoyed creating desserts for my family which I called “special ingredients”. From that seed grew a desire to create other special meals for more than just my family. I appreciate the zen-like practice of focusing on my next creation while everything else fades away from my thoughts. I enjoy enriching peoples souls with my delicious creations.
When I’m not working I enjoy slapping the bass!

Locally Sourced Produce
Anyone with a garden would agree with that. Just like homemade bread always wins out over the store bought variety, local farmhouse vegetables and fruits will make all the difference on your plate. That’s why we like to use local sources for our menu items and at the same time we are also helping out our local economy. We’re keeping our money local, as well as fostering great relationships with other business people in our neighborhood. Check out some of our farm-fresh menus here and read up on our local farmers below. These local farmers let us be creative with our menu, and you benefit in every way!
We proudly support:
• Monroe County
• Ellen’s Ice Cream
• JQ Dickinson Salt-Works
• Patriot Guardens Farm Roots (Supporting Vets for our Produce)
