With the assistance of a Portland based restaurant consultant, management features were added to provide stream lined service. No expense was spared in the design, construction and equipment. Steel framed mirrors that were hand crafted by a local artisan line the wall and add an illuminating atmosphere.
Art glass with inset natural reeds acts as an attractive divider between the 33 seat bakery and 108 seat dining room.

The new kitchen equipment and poin t of sales technology creates a fluid system between the front and back of the house. With a full scratch bakery on the facility, the restaurant can offer more than local eateries.
