Chef-owner: Conor Dennehy, Danielle Ayer, and Marcos Sanchez · Opened 2025
Opened October 2025 by JBF-nominated chef Conor Dennehy, Danielle Ayer (both of Talulla in Huron Village), and Marcos Sanchez. Took over the storied Craigie on Main space that closed in fall 2021. Explicitly built around zero-waste practices and vegetable-centric menus.
$30–$60 per person
Vegetable-forward farm-to-table restaurant in the former Craigie on Main space, from the Talulla team. Zero-waste kitchen — byproducts of one dish show up in the next (halibut poached in whey from in-house yogurt). Tasting counter; regular menu of share plates; a 'farm burger' in homage to Tony Maws's Craigie original.
