Pizza Garden

The Fireside Grille “Pizza Garden” may be the most visible reminder of our commitment to freshness. This 28 x 50 garden plot is home to organically grown herbs and vegetables that go from earth to pizza oven. From basil and peppers to tomatoes and spinach, diners enjoy the unmistakable goodness of homegrown toppings on their piping hot pizzas.

Produce Cart

Residents and guests also love the hand-crafted “Farmer’s Market” produce cart available every Friday at the Fireside Grille. Throughout the growing season, we partner with local vendors like Oak Grove Farms and Paulus’s Farm Markets to stock the cart with delicious, just-harvested produce ready for snacking, cooking, or baking.

Located in Village Square this dining venue offers a creative farm to table cuisine with a celebratory twist! Open for dinner, Kathryn’s culinary team shines as they create new specials each week along with a savory array of seafood, chicken, pork, beef, and vegetarian entrees. Wood ceilings and ribbons of glass surround this comfortably modern restaurant, giving it a “special occasion” feel without being fussy. Special features include front porch dining tables, some booths, and The Heisey Room, a private and reservable dining room for small gatherings. The name derives from our founding in 1896 thanks to the efforts of four “Katie’s” – a group of inspirational women who were among the earliest promoters of the ministry.
