We are a small farm supporting restaurant with sustainable cooking practices. The menu is strictly seasonal and changes weekly if not daily. The philosophy at Community Table is about cooperation with our surroundings. Cooperation with nature, with the farmers, with the products, and with each other. Bringing in local ingredients from less than 100 miles and cooking them just to bring out and highlight their natural flavors. A healthy natural approach to cooking that is intensely flavored and extremely creative is our mission at the Community Table. The responsible foraging of wild herbs, medicinal plants, berries, and mushrooms is a passion of our chefs. We do offer interships for students to work at our restaurant and several farms in the area. In the late Winter we will offer cooking classes at the restaurant.
I'd driven past a few times, but always during off-hours. Community Table -- the name just sounded like it would be locavore, and that inspired me to visit.... [more]
CT is fantastic. The best restaurant in the area. The chef finds creative but simple ways to present each farm-fresh ingredient so that it is memorable and special. Everything on the menu is superb. And with a menu that is constantly changing, every time we go back, we have something new to try.
