Oak & Grain – /oʊk/and/grayn/
noun
1. The restaurant at Aura Independent Living.
2. A name inspired by two of Cedar Rapids’ most enduring legacies—artist Grant Wood and the Quaker Oats Company.
It’s a tribute to both Wood and wheat – art and agriculture – elements that shaped the city and now shape every dish we serve.
At Oak & Grain, we celebrate bold flavors, Midwestern spirit, and the simple joy of a meal that feels like home. With a little grit, a little grain, and a lot of heart.
