I am very very excited about this place. Take. My. Money.

All the pictures they're posting on Facebook look absolutely mouthwatering. And I love the fact that they have their own farm.

[Canoe]

Where is the farm? What town is it near?

[Pete]

This shows the large metal awning they installed; one of the two overhead doors are open and you can also see the walk-up bar on the left.

That bar window has accordion windows that allow it to complete open; you can see the long bar inside and a guy sitting at it.

This place is going to be badass and really help tie together the northern part of Auto Alley with the CBD.

Purse holders and electrical outlets.... My wife will loooooove it.

[Anonymous.]

That is super cool, love the bar top as the wall.

That is really cool and not what I pictured. I was expecting a to-go window, not a place where it looks like it is encouraged for you sit and stay awhile.

I am unreasonably excited about this place.

Neon signage is going in this afternoon.

[John Knight]

My friend Chad, owner of DNA Designs, took these pictures yesterday.

Sign has received neon elements:

From trash to treasure.

Does anyone know if they are going to have full-service or will everyone go through the service line? From the pictures and walking by it seems to have a nicer feel than a fast-casual restaurant.

It will be like the Garage: You go through the line to order but then you will have table service from the bar.

Such a huge addition. Still think the N Broadway/Auto Alley strip has a much potential as anywhere except for maybe 10th St. from Broadway to Walker through Midtown.

Opening date yet!!?

[Pete]

They hope to open next week. I'm going to a soft opening this weekend and will report back and takes lots of photos.

This place is bomb... Images from the Cultivar Instagram feed:

Does one get invited to soft openings or is it right place at the right time?

I know the owner because I broke the story and covered it every step of the way, including meeting him at the site a couple of times.

It's generally invite only... I've been invited to a few through my blogging.

[BBatesokc]

Can't wait. I hope this place is as good as it looks.

Saw somewhere that they're opening Monday!

[Pete]

Yes, was there tonight and they confirmed they are opening Monday.

Food was very good. I'll have a full report soon.

[Pete]

Here is a quick photo of 4 different types of tacos: grilled shrimp, fried catfish, salmon and duck.

All very good and they make their own corn tortillas in house. Also, their chips are those thick type that I particularly like.

[Pete]

They also have their own hot sauces as well has Sriracha and some others... The habanero was really, really good:
