Beginning in 2021, Locals Chris McDonald, a 25 year veteran of Morgantown restaurants, and April Passaro, a Fairmont native with years of hospitality experience, set out to create what Chef McDonald has dreamed of since his first real cooking job at the Morgantown staple "The Glasshouse Grille" in 1999. Working for and with great cooks in Morgantown WV and Greensboro NC, McDonald honed his skills in the kitchen and his love of a wide range of regional and international foods. By his side with constant support, his fiance April comes from a small business and customer service background with a love of making people happy and a charismatic energy that makes you feel at home.
