ouR Dining

Harbinger is a vegetable focused small plates concept featuring flavors inspired by self directed trips our Chef has taken through south east Asia and beyond. Our mission is to tell the tale of the place we call home using the provisions provided by the bountiful land and hard working hands of those who know how to nurture it. We work endlessly to support local. We know the impact of that support add as much to your enjoyment of the meal as it does to strengthening our community. Our Dine In program is set to resume on April 30th. Till then, thank you for letting us introduce ourselves. Please see the Basic Bird Menu to taste what we are cooking up now.
