- Jon Murrill
- Untitled (Local Roots Mural) - HISTORIC
The restaurant's name comes alive in a stunning mural sprawling across two walls painted by Jon Murrill. A majestic tree's base anchors the scene, its gnarled roots twisting and turning in every direction. The iconic Blue Ridge mountains rise in a misty background. Amid the branches are some of the region's birds like the cardinal. The mural sets a tone for a dining experience deeply rooted in local flavor.
