Our menus are guided by the garden, the season, and the ingredients available to us each week. We believe there is value in stepping away from the expectation of choosing every element of a meal and instead allowing the season to guide what is served. This gives us the freedom to create a thoughtful, cohesive menu and to work with and serve ingredients when they are at their best. Menus are not posted in advance, but we’re happy to accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies whenever possible with at least five days’ notice.

Beverage pairings are included as part of the experience to allow the evening to unfold with ease and to support a thoughtful, hospitable style of service.

Reservations are prepaid in full at the time of booking because each dinner is intentionally small and thoughtfully prepared for the guests attending that evening.

-
Rather than adding a traditional gratuity at the end of the evening, a 15% hospitality charge is included with each reservation. It allows us to keep the experience seamless for our guests while supporting the kind of thoughtful, collaborative hospitality we want Provender to be known for.
