    Chef & Co-owner

    I became a chef because I love bringing people together with good food, great stories, and lasting memories”

    My career began in San Diego at Searsucker restaurant. After three years, I moved to Napa Valley. where I worked at Morimoto-Napa, Bottega-Yountville , Saison -S.F., Roka Akor-S.F., Atelier Crenn-S.F. and Many others. I learned about refinement from these establishments, but I still wanted to bring people a more personal and intimate experience. That's why our business was created, to bring a more personalized fine dining experience.

    “My attraction to food began at an early age; I was fascinated by the technique and care taken to create great food and its ability to bring people together.

    I found my passion and attended culinary school. For the past 10 years I have worked in various wineries and restaurants enjoying a variety of roles. I have continually kept on learning and growing as a chef. My husband Nate and I founded our business to provide guests with a joyful and immersive dining experience, that is truly thoughtful & memorable.
