Austin Radosta, Head Chef
Chef Austin Radosta, a culinary visionary with a wealth of Michelin-star experience, has joined us to elevate the dining program at Walden. With time spent at the world-renowned Momofuku Ko and 1789 Restaurant—one of Washington, D.C.'s finest dining establishments—Chef Austin brings exceptional expertise and a refined culinary perspective to The Barn.
Chef Austin’s passion for sourcing the finest ingredients from farm to fork drives his culinary philosophy. His commitment to quality and the art of cooking is supported by his dedication to sustainable practices and a deep connection to the local farming community. Direct farmer relationships result in the sourcing of whole animals and a nose-to-tail cooking approach, as well as showcasing all four seasons of Ohio produce.
In addition to elevating our dining offerings, Radosta plans to introduce a kitchen garden to The Barn, further connecting our guests to the land and enhancing our menu with the freshest produce. Eventually, he envisions a retail venture that will serve the community, allowing everyone to experience the flavors and ingredients from the region that define his culinary approach.
With Chef Austin at the helm, we’re excited to bring world-class dining to Walden, offering a truly elevated, farm-to-table dining experience that reflects his passion, creativity, and commitment to excellence.
THE BARN
Walden’s signature gourmet private restaurant, set in an elegantly restored 200-year-old barn, is unforgettable. You’ll love the atmosphere of warmth, nostalgia, and romance of our intimate private dining room.
Our menu is guided by the season, available at local farms as well as what is in the garden. We have a farm-to-fork philosophy, meaning we like to serve food that reflects our “pick, clean and serve” approach. Dinner is served at the Barn Tuesday through Saturday evenings.
The Barn houses a 2000-bottle Master Wine Cellar featuring the latest technology in climate control. Wine lockers can be purchased for an annual fee of $375 which includes personal pre-invitations to any wine events at the Barn and in-home wine cellar consultation.
Dress Code: In keeping with our elegant surroundings, the Barn dining room requests jackets for gentlemen and appropriate corresponding refined clothing for women. This “casual elegant” dress code prohibits any athleisure garments or pants with distress hole or similar. Sneakers, shorts, t-shirts and sweatshirts are prohibited. Please make sure all of your guests are aware of this dress code.
Gatherings: The Barn has multiple private spaces that are available to small groups. Rise up to the loft where we can accommodate a group up to 35 people. The space is open but a perfect location for a celebration. Or if you are looking for a significant amount of privacy, the Garden Room where you can use the outdoor stone patio for pre-dinner toasts. We can fit 35 people comfortably using the wine cave area. Groups of 12 or more guests will require an amended or special menu.
Barn Reservations: Tuesday – Saturday 5:30 pm – 8:30 pm
