Inspired by the centuries of global spice trade, which included Hernando DeSoto’s expedition through the American Southeast in the year 1540, our restaurant prepares dishes using ingredients from local farms who use a variety of sustainable practices to provide high-quality produce and ethically-raised meats. As a farm-to-table, locally-sourced restaurant, 1540 Room’s dishes will change with the seasons. Sourcing from local farmers not only provides guests with the freshest food available but also motivates the culinary team to merge unique menu combinations.
