It’s about to get REAL, folks. Very soon, we’ll be switching this account over to represent our new spot, Gold Standard!!! We hope you’ll follow along with our new adventure. In the meantime, our website is up and we’re hiring for ALL POSITIONS! Head over to www.goldstandardeats.com (or find the link in bio!) and shoot us a resume if you’re interested.

We suppose this is one last bittersweet farewell. Thanks Olympia for all the memories, we can’t wait to make more with you as Gold Standard! Chicory, signing off.

Did you miss us?
We are popping OFF with our friends in their micro kitchen on Monday nights!
🚨 !!!!!PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!!! 🚨

Reservations will be available for each night at 5;30, and will include all three courses. From 7:00 on, food will be on a first come-first serve basis until sold out.
Reservations can be made through our website OR the link in our bio.
