The Fusion of Dive and organic
We are kids of the 90’s, plain and simple. Founders Dar and Sarah are no strangers to the restaurant world, with over 25 years experience, the couple took the plunge almost a decade ago with The Velveteen, a 1920’s style speakeasy accessed underground in historic downtown Stillwater. Before that they founded Studio One Yoga, a hot yoga studio with three metro locations. Anybody sense a fusion coming on? These prior concepts along with You and Me Cafe in Stillwater, led to a new restaurant focusing on the future of health and sustainability that took off. the big question we had, what if we re-engineer American favorite foods so we can enjoy them without worrying about the health ramifications of the SAD (Standard American Diet’s) consequences.
We wanted to have kick ass food paired with awesome drinks, all while never touching a single bit of processed food. Everything we make is made in house from scratch using only whole foods. Why not have a smash burger and know your body will thank you. Fried cheese curds, ummm, yes please, battered in a high fiber naturally gluten free proprietary in house batter. Guys, we have so many awesome dishes, and every single one of them is made the right way, only real ingredients.
Here is our pledge to you:
We will never use ultra processed foods, any product we cannot make in house requires five pronounceable ingredients or less, not a single one more.
All of our beef will always be grass fed and finished.
All of our seafood will always be wild caught and/or sustainable.
All of our chicken will always be fed a grain free diet and never pumped with hormones, pasture raised whenever possible.
We will always endeavour to create local relationships with farmers to gather our food.
Seed oils, forget ‘em. We only use rice bran oil because of its beautiful omega fat ratio in our fryers, it is safe and stable at high temperatures so there is no risk of creating carcinogens. For everything else, extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil rule the house.
Let us take you on a wild ride as we share a fusion of flavors taking you down a rabbit hole of delicious meals without your jeopardizing health, all the while jamming 90’s faves and rockin 90’s music videos in the bar. We look forward to meeting and serving you!
We Are Proud of our Team
