Community:

To say Casa de Luz is a restaurant leaves most of the story untold.  Enter the gates and let the peaceful gardens ease your mind.  Large tables build community by inviting guests to meet others and share something new.  The nourishment is shared as much as eaten.  Come dine with us and discover a little more.

Children are welcome to use the playground after 5:30 pm and all-weekend long.  Find a small people’s table near the glass doors.  Casa is very ‘Kid Friendly’.  Your children will meet new little friends.

We invite 2 volunteers per shift to join us in the kitchen:
8:00 to 11:00 for the lunch shift, and then enjoy your creation
3:00 to 5:00 for the dinner shift, and then enjoy your creation
