Helen is the bringing to life of a food memory, one of food thoughtfully prepared over hardwood coals and smoke. Of a welcoming, classic setting where friends and family shared and celebrated. Of a spirit that was not only felt by those that gathered but was infused into the food on the table.
IN KEEPING WITH THIS SPIRIT, HELEN OFFERS A MENU BEST SERVED FAMILY STYLE. WE BELIEVE IN SHARING AND CELEBRATING OUR TIME TOGETHER WITH GENEROUS, SHAREABLE PORTIONS SERVED OVER MULTIPLE COURSES.
The MenuS Change Frequently.
For specific questions, please give us a call.
