The Vision
Through innovative and thoughtful programming, Team Kostow creates more than dramatic dining experiences, but singular and personal expressions of their lives and locale. With Christopher + Martina Kostow at the helm, Team Kostow consists of long standing Culinary, Operations, Beverage, and Marketing hospitality professionals – each overseeing all existing + upcoming projects.

He was chosen as one of Food & Wine Magazine’s Best New Chefs and holds an award from the James Beard Foundation for Best Chef: Pacific.
