Since 2015

Our Story

Every great meal begins with a story. Ours started with a dream.

Our Journey

A Decade of Growth

Milestones that shaped who we are.

2015

The Beginning

We opened with 8 tables, a 12-course tasting menu, and a vision to create something intimate and exceptional. The first year was humbling — long hours, relentless experimentation, and the unwavering belief that ingredients and craft could speak louder than pretension.

2017

Critical Acclaim

The New York Times named us “Best New Restaurant.” Suddenly, reservations became hard to secure. But rather than expand, we recommitted to intimacy — to keeping the dining room small, the attention personal, the experience handcrafted.

2019

Best New Chef

Chef Michael Chen received Food & Wine's Best New Chef award. It was validation that the vision was resonating — not just locally, but nationally. The menu evolved. The team grew. The philosophy deepened.

2020

Michelin Star

Our first Michelin Star. A recognition renewed every year since. It represents consistency, excellence, and the dedication of every person in the kitchen and dining room. We've never taken it for granted.

2024

Today & Tomorrow

We've grown from 8 tables to a full dining room and private dining space. The menu is more refined. The team is stronger. But the commitment remains: to honor ingredients, craft, and the guests who trust us with their evenings.
