the seed
Around the same time she was learning how to grow food in the high desert, with its scarce water and slim soils, owner/founder Erin Wade had the idea for a restaurant that served delicious and satisfying entrée salads like the ones she was making for herself and her friends, and that she could never find at a restaurant. She began developing the menus and concept of a restaurant that made healthy eating playful and easy with the produce she was growing.
our ethos
Sustainability, and looking to nature as a model for commerce, inspires how we do business. The original Nambe farm still supplies seasonal products (mixed greens, arugula, kale, peppers, peaches, apricots, cherries, apples, tomatoes, scallions, basil, heirloom potatoes, beans, mint, and eggs) for the New Mexico restaurants and composts restaurant waste into nutrient-rich soil amendments for the garden beds. We are working directly with small ranchers to source grass-finished beef.

how we
sprouted
Erin opened the first Vinaigrette in 2008, in a very old and funky adobe house she renovated in downtown Santa Fe, at the end of a dirt road. It's actually an alley. But when the new restaurant that served "just salads?" got very busy, she got schooled.
