Breaking Bread: The Harvest Table

About this event

The Harvest Table

12 guests. One table. Three courses. One Mocktail.

As the season begins to turn, come gather around the table for an intimate evening celebrating the flavors, colors and abundance of autumn.

Breaking Bread: The Harvest Table is a family-style dining experience created for just twelve guests seated together at one beautifully set table. It's an invitation to slow down, share food, meet someone new and rediscover the simple pleasure of gathering together over a meal.

Chef Susan will prepare a seasonal three-course harvest menu served family-style , beginning, naturally, with bread passed around the table. Each course will be accompanied by its own thoughtfully crafted zero-proof beverage , created especially for the evening.

And the menu? We're keeping that part a little secret.

Expect the warmth of autumn, seasonal ingredients, beautiful food, unexpected flavors and just enough Gnomies magic to make the evening memorable.

Only 12 seats will be offered.

Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to linger.

We'll meet you at the table.

$39 per guest

Includes three-course family-style dinner + a zero-proof drink.

Meet the Chef

Chef Susan Riedl is a culinary-trained chef with a foundation in classic French cuisine and a love for German-inspired food rooted in tradition, comfort and gathering around the table.

Her culinary career has taken many paths—from opening restaurants in New York's Adirondacks and operating establishments ranging from an intimate café to a steakhouse, to spending nearly a decade as a culinary instructor at a private college. Susan also spent four years working in food sales, giving her a unique perspective on ingredients, sourcing and the business behind the plate.

Today, she brings those experiences together at Gnomies, where food is about more than what's being served. It's about creativity, curiosity, connection and giving people a reason to linger around the table a little longer. Her love of plate design and pastry arts brings an artistic eye to the table, where flavor, texture, color and presentation become part of the experience.

Fun fact: Susan is both a trained chef and a professional artist and art therapist—so whether she's working with a canvas or a dinner plate, she has a hard time leaving creativity out of anything she makes.

For Breaking Bread , Susan returns to one of the things she loves most: creating thoughtful food and sharing it around a table.

Come hungry. Come curious. She'll meet you at the table.
