The farm-to-table restaurant shared the exciting appearance on social media, writing, "So thrilled to have Tim Blake Nelson, Movie Star/Director, join us for dinner Over The Moon Farmstead." The restaurant also shared that they're longtime fans of his work, mentioning films including "O Brother, Where Art Thou?," "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs," "Bang Bang," "Holes," "Old Henry," and "Minority Report."

While Nelson's visit certainly turned some heads, the restaurant itself has been earning plenty of attention. It's easy to understand why Tim would want to stop in.
