A lot of prep goes into opening a small restaurant

In addition to purchasing a new POS system and taking care of the managerial ends of the business, we have been busy with the fun stuff: growing tomatoes, eggplant, peppers and basil, taste-testing recipes (and sample products), purchasing equipment and organizing our space. This year, the Hearth & Vine will be operated by Chef Paul Carlson instead of Black Star.

We will be updating our blog on a regular basis (just getting started) so stop back when you have a chance. You can also follow us on Twitter: (HearthandVine) and find us (The Hearth & Vine Cafe and Wine Bar) on Facebook.

We really look forward to seeing you at the Hearth & Vine this summer, and will be open beginning Memorial Day weekend.
