Not every course needs to shout.
The Garden Preserves is a quiet reminder that some of the best flavors take time.
House pickles, preserved vegetables, and seasonal produce transformed through patience, technique, and intention. Bright. Tangy. Unexpected. A snapshot of the season captured at its peak and served when it’s ready.
This course isn’t just about preservation. It’s about honoring ingredients long after harvest and finding beauty in the slow process.
Part of this week’s Last Minute Mondays experience.
What vegetable deserves to be preserved more often?
Mother’s Day deserves more than a reservation… it deserves a moment.
An intimate, chef-led experience where every course tells a story, some inspired by the woman who taught me how to cook, others reimagined through my lens today.

If you’ve been watching, this is your sign.
Slow down… just enough to taste everything.
For two nights only, we’re bringing a Greek spring table to life, bright citrus, fresh herbs, fire-kissed seafood, and dishes meant to be passed, shared, and talked over. This isn’t dinner, it’s a vibe, a story, a moment you’ll wish you could replay.
Seats are limited. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Slow down. Sit deeper. Taste intentionally.
This isn’t just dinner, it’s a 7-course chef’s table rooted in Greek tradition, shaped by the season, and guided by a philosophy of “siga siga”… slowly, slowly.
