Our Story

We were created with one mission: to give parents and little ones a relaxed, judgment-free environment where everyone can enjoy a delicious meal without the usual stress of dining out. Because first and foremost, we’re “parent-friendly.” We've swapped out those tabletop breakables for coloring projects for little hands and activities the whole family will enjoy. We're nestled within Epping's on Eastside, offering adults the full Epping's menu and beverage selection. So sit back, order a cocktail, and start making memories.
We’ll handle the rest.

CHEF DE CUISINE

Nate

Chef Nate thrives on a kitchen’s controlled chaos, calmly managing the moving parts while bringing his creativity to life with every plate. He is the driving force behind the Epping’s menu, which highlights his passion for locally-sourced meats and produce. From hand brining pastrami for a reuben to his unique take on international dishes, Nate’s attention to detail and culinary talent comes to life at Epping’s on Eastside.











Patrick Harper

GENERAL MANAGER

Patrick

and again.











Chris Hutchison

DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

Chris

Chris keeps Coles, Eppings and Poppy & Olive running smoothly, while always maintaining a gracious sense of welcome and hospitality. As a Certified Sommelier, he is also the creative mind behind the restaurants’ acclaimed wine and spirits programs. Chris grew up surrounded by phenomenal cooks in the small town of Pikeville, Kentucky. After years working in the industry, it is still his love for food and “all things distilled or fermented” that keep him inspired every day.
