ABOUT US
OUR MANTRA
Owner/Chef James Eddington states that “we are blessed to be living in such an agriculturally rich area of the world.” He attributes the restaurant’s success in creating flavorful and creative meals to being able to consistently use the best of Huron County’s bounty.
Although the local food movement is really starting to take off, it has always been the driving force in Eddington's kitchen. The menu changes frequently, as each season inspires us with the delicacies our region has to offer.
Now celebrating over 25 years of business, we are proud to have built a great relationship with our region’s farmers, suppliers and producers.
Eddington’s believes that when doing business locally, you not only get personal service and real value, you also strengthen your local community and economy.
Thank you for dining with us!
