About this restaurant

Innovative
Good for special occasions
Romantic

years, Food Dance has built strong relationships with dozens of local and regional growers, producers and farmers who have helped craft a one-of-a-kind menu that is fresh, inventive and appeals to the senses. Through our commitment to building a thriving and sustainable local food system, we create casual and inviting opportunities for people to come together and connect through the experience of food.
Food Dance is dedicated to relationships that support artisans who practice craft food processes that have been around for generations—growing, raising, preserving, curing, aging, pickling, butchering and more.

We look forward to sharing great experiences with you; celebrating, meeting or just enjoying one of our fabulous cocktails inspired by the seasons. Join us for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Don't miss our little specialty Market where you can take home some Food Dance!

Got a prompt call from the Cafe that confirmed the news report that there had been a fire in the kitchen area and they were closed. Waiting for report of the reopening. As the review site required a set of scores chose the middle, would be good to have an N/A button. Hope all is well and we can return.

Our experience was outstanding! Service was perfect! We enjoyed the very tasty bread before the meal. I had the entree salmon and my husband had the pad Thai bowl. We shared a non- alcohol strawberry thyme scrub drink that was refreshing, as well as a peach and raspberry crisp with vanilla ice cream for dessert. We absolutely will return to try the lunch and breakfast menus.

Nice atmosphere. Food quality has gone done a bit though. I found the flavoring a bit heavy-handed in most of the dishes (too sweet, too salty, too cheesy, etc)

Good service and very accommodating with our request for a table where my mother-in-law had easy access to her walker. I like that the restaurant offers small plates and large plates. Wide variety of food. I ordered risotto, one of their specials that day. It was very delicious. We try to eat there whenever we are visiting the area.

Service here continues to be friendly and very good, but I think the quality of the food has slipped a bit over time, especially for the high price point. My entree was tasty, but not as hot as it should have been, and my husband was not wowed by his. A high point was actually the bread that comes before the meal - the rosemary focaccia was fantastic. I wish everything we had (drinks, entrees, desserts) had been executed as well as that delicious bread.
