PRIVATE GATHERINGS“… the brightest dinner party vibe between Chicago and Milwaukee,” New York Times

Imagine a soirée set against the magic of Bohemian Paris in the 1920’s and icons of the Beat Generation. Proprietor Amy Morton conjures this world at Found Kitchen and

Social House. A consummate hostess, she cre-ates an atmosphere perfect for the most personal occasion or spirited soirée—a backdrop where Food & Wine People’s Best Chef Nominee Nicole Pederson crafts rustic fare with the New American palate in mind from local ranches andfarms. From intimate dinner parties to lively cocktail receptions and full restaurant events, we are happy tocraft an experience tailored to your vision. The restaurant boasts the intimate Salon Privé, our completely private space that is flooded by candlelight and lined with vintage finds.

Our Menu

Chef Nicole’s flexitarian menu is perfect for vegans, meat lovers, and everyone inbetween. Her eclectic menu is ever-evolving, with items changing to reflect the best local ingredients. To complement Found’s inventive fare, the beverage programfeatures regional wines, beers, and spirits, taking “locally sourced” to the next level.

Our Facts

Found is open for lunch Tuesday through Saturday and fuesday through Sun-day beginning at 5 p.m. Our private room, “The Salon Privé”, accommo-dates up to 50 guests for a seated dinner or lounge reception. The Salon’svintage doors provide complete privacy, and state of the art Audio/Visual options areavailable. Valet parking is available for evening events and may be arranged fordaytime events.

Our Mission

It is Amy’s personal mission to make a difference

that drives much of what our Michelin Bib Gourmand

restaurant does at every turn—from using found

objects in the restaurant’s décor to sourcing from

lesser-known local purveyors to always staying mindful

of the environment by recycling, composting and

supporting area farms and businesses whenever

possible. Making a difference in the community and being

a partner to drive change is key to the restaurant’s

philosophy.
