This was a meaningful dining experience with delicious food! Surely one of the most unique places I’ve ever dined, and I hope to eat, decolonized indigenous food from this land again and more often.

The space itself is bright and fresh and beautiful with great views. We were able to get seated right away at a table right by the window. I’d make reservation’s (Resy). The server was helpful in deciding what to get and helping us make great choices. It was fun to watch the people cook from the open kitchen, I can imagine eating at the bar is super exciting.

sweet potatoes with maple chili crisp – this dish is one of the legacy dishes at the restaurant. It was also one of the largest dishes that we had. Big portion! While the maple chili crisp was delicious if it hadn’t been on the sweet potatoes, I’m not sure that this dish would’ve been our jam. The sweet potatoes were extra starchy and earthy, nothing like the processed over cultivated sweet potatoes we normally get. We had a lot of these left over at the end and took them home, they made the perfect compliment to eggs and bacon in the morning!

The corn taco – the corn taco was super fun and wasn’t to hard to split between two people. It was really cool to have corn in three different ways! Oh wait four!

Elk Poyha-this was like an elk meatloaf with the most gorgeous berries and sauce on top. The first bite, scrambled my brain because I’ve never had anything quite like it. It was less gamey than I thought it would be but certainly had some game taste to it and the sauce was sweet, it worked so well with the meat. Every bite I took after that got more delicious. It was nice to eat it with the starchy sweet potatoes.

Spoon bread-I think in our heads we thought this would have links to fry bread, but that doesn’t make sense because fried bread is a super colonialized food. The bread was actually like maybe a bread pudding? The delicious beef and sauce on top and that crunch element are lovely to put inside the tortilla, such lovely corn flavor on those tortillas!

Sauces- get sauces! They’re delicious and sort of complete the dishes. We loved the not hot “hot sauce” and the chili crisp aioli (nice fat element to have)

-the duck breast – THIS was the BEST DUCK OF MY ENTIRE LIFE ! I thought I did not like duck and I’ve had it so many ways from France to China, Michillen star spots and holes in the way but this was something completely different. I thought maybe it was overcooked from appearance, but no it was cooked perfectly with a crispy skin and the best flavor to it. The tamale offered a element to the savory of the duck and the sauces work so well with it all. Don’t fear that zany huitlachoche because there wasn’t much in it and it does add a really beautiful umami element to the whole thing. I would come back just for this dish and I think I’ll probably never have duck that good again.

-Berry cobbler: this is nothing like the cobbler you have in mind . There’s a berry situation that is next level and really delicious but without all that sugar and no fat it really wasn’t our favorite dish. The sweet potato sorbet wasn’t a sorbet but more of a purée. We took this home and paired it with vanilla dairy ice cream and it was so good lol

I highly recommend making reservations for this place and if you eat during the day, you can see the beautiful outside area. It looks like they have an outdoor deck which is closed in the cold winter, but must be so nice in the summer. This would be such a cool place to eat with season nine and see what shifts and changes. Eating the rainbow has never been so fun.
