- ●Seasonal sourcing — menus rotate to match the harvest.
- ●Thoughtful hospitality — detail and comfort guide service.
- ●Community partnerships — we work with growers and artisans.
Meet the Chef — Asha Navarro
Chef Asha’s cuisine is rooted in local ingredients and global technique. Trained in Barcelona and Tokyo, Asha returned to the region to build a kitchen that celebrates farmers, sea, and seasonality. Her menu balances clarity, texture, and boldness.
