Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine
This singular atelier is where Chef Dominique Crenn established her lofty reputation, creating an inspired culinary style that combines her upbringing in Brittany with her present-day evolution in California. The pescatarian menu skillfully weds a panoply of delectable sauces and impeccably prepared seafood, a true testament to Crenn’s mastery of French cuisine—and a loaf of exquisite brioche from her grandmother’s recipe drives the point home. But a thoughtfully modern sensibility is also evident; produce sourced from partner Bleu Belle Farm in Sonoma lends lightness and balance, resulting in cuisine that is both indulgent and nourishing. A procession of desserts from Chef/partner Juan Contreras concludes the meal with a final flourish of imagination.
"The kitchen is certified plastic free, eliminating all single use plastics and supported by a rigorous waste management system. Fermentation plays a central role in extending the life of ingredients and deepening flavor, while all organic waste is returned to Bleu Belle Farm for composting, completing a closed loop that connects the restaurant directly to its source. We are very attune with our fish, seafood and produce purveyors maintaining very close relationships with local suppliers."
