California oak.

A wood-fired kitchen and natural wine bar in downtown Covina. Seasonal plates from one open hearth, and a room that feels like a long dinner with friends.

“One fire, no shortcuts. If it doesn't taste better over oak, it isn't on the menu.”

Chef and owner (sample)

We buy from farms within a few hours of the valley, change the menu with the seasons, and pour wines from small producers who farm the way we cook. Since 2019, every plate has passed over the same hearth.

  • “The hanger steak and that burnt-honey bread. We were back two weeks later.”
  • “Cozy, beautifully lit, and the staff actually knows the wine list.”
  • “Ordered pickup on a Friday. Ready on time, still warm, perfectly packed.”
