We offer a shared commissary test kitchen which talented food and beverage entrepreneurs can use as a low-barrier opportunity to test out their concepts in a supportive environment. Our restaurant tenants develop their own menus which are presented together to all guests as they try out the culinary creations of multiple chefs in a unique dining experience. Tenants are able to use this time to get creative, grow their brand, and develop their unique style and flavor to create a permanent concept.
