A one-of-a-kind dining (and drinking) experience.
From the mind of Michelin-awarded Executive Chef Edward Higgins, our food menus are inspired by the region's bounty in collaboration with Chef’s global training from Japan to France to Massachusetts. Fresh, local ingredients are always the star of the show.
In the bar, our team creates hand-crafted cocktails (and mocktails), which may change seasonally, but always feature house-made juices, shrubs, and syrups. We also curate a wine list that has a wide, quality selection with options to please everyone.

"At the glamorous The Lively, chef Edward Higgins gets playful with local ingredients, giving Idaho ruby trout a Rockefeller twist with a vermouth butter crust. The bar program matches his culinary ingenuity with cocktails such as the cognac-and-chamomile-tea-based Pharaoh's Gold."
