Tulip Poplars (Liriodendron Tulipifera) are the tallest trees from the native woodlands we love. They create the setting for magical moments in the woods and also attract a number of delicious wild mushrooms.
At Poplar, we feature mushrooms and other foraged goodies as well as directly sourced sea and farm items. Vegans, Vegetarians, and Gluten-Free guests can always be accommodated. The menu is dynamic, changing daily to capture the height of each growing season.

This place is wonderful. We went on a Thursday and they had a happy hour. In this case happy hour meant reduced prices for wine and a menu of delicious pintxos and NOT discounted vodka cranberries. The food and service were excellent and the restaurant is really pretty.
