“We are Joshua and Ariel Smith, husband and wife team that run Talise, a seasonal restaurant located in the quaint village of Annisquam, MA. At Talise we work with trusted local farmers and fishermen who supply the ingredients that make up an ever-changing menu. We are grateful to be able showcase seasonal products, many of which come from right here in Cape Ann! In 2023, Chef Mark Lutz joined the Talise team for our fourth season. His passion for sourcing local ingredients – stemming from extensive travels and working in world class kitchens – instantly resonated with us. We are honored and excited to host our second dinner at Appleton Farms this fall with Mark by our side!”
