Tongue in Cheek

An eating, drinking & cavorting restaurant. With a passion for supporting humane and sustainable farms. We believe living a good life tastes better.

Craft cocktails, cocktail flights, wine, beer and inventive New American cuisine created by Chef Leonard Anderson - all served in a lively, casual atmosphere. It's fine dining, without the pretension. We are committed to serving animal products that are raised in a humane and sustainable manner.
