At the hands of accomplished Chef Dominique Crenn, guests have rightly come to expect a thrilling meal inside her singular atelier. An exclusive hallmark of dining here is the deeply hospitable and exemplary staff. Originality is the name of this culinary game, enhanced by evolution. Chef Crenn’s full embrace of Californian inspiration is evident now more than ever; the dairy-free, pescatarian menu is built around produce sourced from a partner farm in Sonoma.Trompe l'oeil canapes set the scene for a meal composed of unique bites, like a pairing of celtuce and caviar, and Monterey Bay abalone dressed with mustard seeds and braised cabbage. Pastry Chef/partner Juan Contreras’ desserts conclude the meal as it began, with a procession of creative morsels.
