Folk Table | Rustic Farm-to-Table Dining

Our Story

Folk Table began with a simple idea: to create a dining experience that honors the traditions of slow food and the craftspeople who grow it. Founded in 2012 by Chef Maria Donovan, our restaurant celebrates the rich bounty of our local agricultural community.

Each dish tells a story of seasonality, sustainability, and the careful hands that bring food from soil to plate. We believe in honoring ingredients through traditional techniques and thoughtful preparation.

"Good food is a celebration of community."
