Our Kitchen
Our mission is to curate an experience of warmth and hospitality, often forgotten but so desperately needed in our modern world, and to provide thoughtful service as a knowledgeable and informed advocate for the Barton House, our guests, and our history.
We source only quality from local farmers who grow amazing produce with love and care. We then combine the produce with modern cooking techniques and turn them into beautiful, tasty, fanciful, and extraordinary dishes.
