About Us: 

Chef Jenner Tomaska and wife and partner Katrina Bravo reimagine the tasting- menu model with philanthropy and art integrated into the foundation of the experience, an expression of their shared vision for the community-focused restaurant.
The team partners with a local artist each season and displays their pieces throughout the restaurant for guests to view and purchase. The culinary team curates a tasting menu to compliment the featured artwork.

Applicants must have some weekend availability and be comfortable with prepping their own mise en place. We are excited to here from you!
