Philosophy: Food
The goal at Fountainhead is to provide farm to table pub fare. We believe that local and regional food simply tastes better and are happy to feature menu items that utilize products from our local farms. We focus on using sustainable and seasonal ingredients, allowing us to provide you with a fresher, and tastier food experience Each dish - from our mayo, ketchup, and sauces, to our entrees and desserts - is all made right here, in our small kitchen. We believe in speaking to your heart through the stomach, without pretense. We also believe that food goes hand in hand with community. Therefore our dishes are created for you to enjoy alone, or to share with company. How many people you share with depends on your appetite. Discuss your needs with our staff and let us create a journey through our menu for you or your group Kick back, relax, and enjoy. Cleetus & the entire Fountainhead crew
