FRENCH COUNTRYSIDE IN THE GARDEN 🇫🇷
On Tuesday, October 13, we’re firing up our outdoor kitchen for a night inspired by the French countryside — simple, rustic, comforting food built around what’s fresh, local, and in season. Our chefs will be cooking over live fire, and there will plenty of time to eat, talk, connect, and enjoy the garden together.
These nights have become some of our favorite ways to share this space with you. Good food tastes even better around a community table.
Tickets available at the link in bio.
Bon appétit! 🥂🌱

Our beetroot tartare is the first course on our current tasting menu, one we’re particularly proud of. 🌱❤️
It’s light, earthy, vibrant and full of flavor… with plenty of fiber, folate and antioxidants packed into those beautiful ruby red beets. Layered with fresh garden herbs, crispy capers, creamy ëgg yolk and served with our sourdough crostini for crunch, there’s a whole lot happening in this first bite.
We love this dish so much! Have you tried it yet?

A little snip & stroll with Davin Waite in the Tremont Garden 🌱✂️
The Plot Garden Project
One of our favorite things is watching something go from a tiny seed to a plant we can harvest, cook with, and eventually put on your plate. And so much of what grows here has a story, whether it started with one of our chefs, a friend, or a handful of seeds we decided to see what we could do with.
Next time you’re walking down Tremont Street or coming in to eat, stop by and see what’s growing, grab something, take it home, eat it, enjoy it. That’s what it’s here for…. although Chef Davin does borrow from it from time to time. 😉🤫🌿

These nights are so much more than a meal. They’re a place to gather, connect, spend time with friends and family, meet new people, interact with our team, and enjoy good food together in the same garden where we grow so much of it.
We spend a lot of time tending to this space, and it’s such a joy to welcome you in, pull up chairs around shared tables, cook for you, cook with fire, share stories, spark conversations and ideas, learn from one another, and make some pretty special memories along the way.
So much love to our entire team, service and culinary, for continuing to show up and put so much into making these dinners happen. And to all of you who keep joining us at the table, thank you. These experiences wouldn’t be what they are without you.
We’ve got a few more dinners coming up in the garden next month, and we can’t wait to do it all over again:
Oct 13: French Countryside
Oct 27: Halloween in the Garden

Guess who’s back… for good!💥
We heard you loud and clear. You loved our Monte Cristo so much that we decided to give it a permanent home on the menu!
Our take starts with French toast, layered with our house-made SPÄM, two cheëzes, and garden-grown squash, then fried until golden and finished with powdered sugar + the mandatory raspberry jam on the side. A little sweet, a little savory, perfectly messy, and a whole lot of delicious. 😎
Available for lunch mon-fri and brunch every weekend. Come hungry!
09/14/2026
It’s definitely a REUBEN kind of day! 😍💥
One of our OG Plot favorites — pastrami-cured and smoked beets, house kraut, melty cheëze, yum yum sauce, and a pickle, all piled together into one seriously satisfying sandwich!!
09/12/2026
It’s the weekend, and we’re thinking French toast!! 😍🍞🍑☀️
Our Peaches N’ Cream Dining Car French Toast is stuffed with mascarpone, topped with fresh peaches, and finished with peach maple coulis. Sweet, creamy, a little messy, and exactly what we want for brunch.
Come hang out, enjoy the sunshine, delicious food, ocean air, and good vibes.
Doors open at 11. We can’t wait to see you here.

MONTE CRISTO SPECIAL 🔥
You all loved the French toast, and Chef Davin Waite’s had his mind on a Monte Cristo for a while now… so here we are.
Our take has späm, two kinds of cheese, French toast, powdered sugar and the mandatory raspberry jam, plus tromboncino straight from The Plot Garden Project. Deep fried until golden and delicious, it’s a little sweet, a little savory, super satisfying and definitely a little over the top, in the best way.
Starting tonight and available until we run out. If you love it as much as we do, we might just have to let this one stick around for a while. 👀

What a beautiful way to celebrate late summer in the garden. 🌿☀️
Our current three-course lunch tasting menu (available mon-fri, 11-3pm) is all about the bright, fresh flavors of the season, with ingredients from our garden and some of our favorite local partners woven throughout.
And the Mushroom Adobada might just be one of our favorite things yet — with oyster mushrooms, Steve Sando and the Rancho Gordo staff beans, blue cornbread made with Somos Maíz 🌽 corn flour, zephyr squash + plenty of The Plot Garden Project garden goodness. It’s also available on our dinner tasting menu, because we just can’t get enough!

Teriyaki Späm Bowl for brunch 🌱☀️
The sun’s out, the garden is full, and this is one of our absolute favorites for a Sunday brunch!
Red lentil späm, crispy rice, yum yum, scallion, sesame, napa cabbage, teriyaki + sea beans come together for a bowl that’s hearty, satisfying, and packed with different textures and flavors. The sea beans just like the ones we grow in our garden add the perfect little briny bite, plus an extra boost of naturally occurring minerals.
Come hang out, grab a bowl, and spend your Sunday with us. 😎

Our favorite place to be on a summer night. ☀️🌿✨
Outside on the patio, surrounded by the garden, with all of you gathered around the table.
Date night, family celebration, dinner with friends, or just a casual night out — there’s always a place for you here. Our team is in their flow, the chefs are behind the scenes grilling something, starting a stock, playing with a new dish, or prepping for the week ahead. There’s always something happening around here, and nothing makes us happier than welcoming you in, feeding you, and getting to be part of the moments you share together.
Come grab a seat and spend the evening with us!

The B Word. 🌱😎
— yep, Brussels. Chef Davin Waite’s had his mind set on a dish like this on the menu for a while, and after some epic wizardry in the kitchen, it’s finally here: crispy brussels tossed in fishless sauce with sweet potato cream, pepitas, black sesame + sea beans.
It’s crunchy, creamy, savory, a little sweet, and layered with all kinds of texture and flavor. Perfect for sharing… but we fully support keeping the whole thing to yourself. 😎
One of our newest menu additions, available for lunch + dinner. Come give it a try and let us know what you think!

Meatless Loaf! 🌱
A longtime crowd favorite and one of those dishes that just hits the spot. Hearty, satisfying, and loaded up with cheesy truffle yams, green beans + coffee ground BBQ.
And those green beans? A lot of them come straight from our garden whenever we’ve got ’em. There’s something extra special about growing your own food, harvesting it with your own hands, and getting to turn around and put it on someone’s plate.
If you haven’t tried this one yet, consider this your sign. Available for dinner seven nights a week… come hungry.

Mon–Thurs from 11am–3pm, purchase an adult meal and kiddos 12 & under get a meal on us. 💚
Come grab lunch, soak up some sunshine, and let the kids roam, explore the garden, play with plants, eat some plants 😎 and enjoy a little fresh air while you enjoy a delicious meal.
We’ve loved having so many families join us this summer. Come hang with us before August wraps up!

NEW TO THE DINNER MENU 🌱🔥
Our chefs have been excited to switch things up for dinner, and we’re super stoked to finally share what they’ve been working on.
— The B Word: crispy brussels tossed in fishless sauce with sweet potato cream, pepitas, black sesame + sea beans.
— Burrata + Stone Fruit: our seasonal spin on a favorite, with purslane, peach pit syrup + our house-made sourdough focaccia.
*Burrata and brussels are also available day time too!*
And she’s baaaack…
— Cräb Cake: with lion’s mane mushroom cräb, pan-fried and served with papaya salad + garlic jerk aioli. It’s a crowd favorite, back with a fresh little twist.
New flavors, seasonal ingredients, and plenty of reasons to come hungry. We hope you love these new dishes as much as we do!

Another Summer Garden Series night for the books, and Italian Night was something special. Inspired by Jessica + Davin’s trip to Pietrasanta last summer, we gathered around the tables for a night of bright Italian flavors, food cooked over fire, plenty of conversation, and the kind of energy that happens when community comes together over a really good meal. 🇮🇹🔥🌿
We fired up our new outdoor kitchen from Philip Roxworthy and served everything from cioppino + polenta and schiacciata con l’uva to watermelon tuna carpaccio, summer vegetables, orzo estivo and olive oil cake with lemon glaze.
These nights are about so much more than what’s on the plate. Sharing tables with friends and strangers, conversations that spark ideas, laughter, connection, and making memories together in the garden… that’s what this series has been all about.
Much love to DUPLA | Photography & Art Direction for continuing to capture our story so beautifully, from the food and fire to the candid moments and everything growing around us. And, as always, so much love to our entire team and every one of you who shared the night with us.
We might have room to squeeze in one more garden dinner before summer wraps… and we have plenty more coming your way, including a brand new tasting menu. Stay tuned. 😎

Chickën Shawarma 🔥
Chef Davin introduced this dish to our menu a few months ago, and it’s quickly become a crowd favorite! Fragrant crispy rice, Levant-inspired seitan, garden greens, and a tangy herb dressing… all inspired by the flavors of NYC street vendors.
It’s got so many of the things we love in one bowl: bold colors, different textures, tons of flavor, and that perfect balance of fresh + satisfying.
Available for lunch and dinner. Have you tried it yet? 😎

Chef Davin Waite and his emotional support eggplant have an announcement. 🍆😂
Italian Night in the Garden is just a couple days away, and the menu is shaping up real nice. Eggplant, tomatoes, squash + orzo, plenty of garden goodness, and olive oil cake with limoncello glaze to finish it all off.
This is the last Garden Summer Series dinner we have on the books for now, and seats are filling up fast!
Grab yours at the link in bio and come eat with us under the lights.
