Our Executive Chef

Leah Detreville, in her own words

“I’ve been passionate about food for as long as. I can remember. To me, food is a form of getting to know someone. It allows me to connect with other people and cultures in a tangible and meaningful way.”

“I’ve been in the restaurant and catering business for the past decade. Throughout that time, I’ve had the privilege of working with amazing chefs, front-of-house managers, event coordinators, and other extraordinary people who have aided in my personal and professional growth.”

“I take pride in incorporating fresh and local food into the kitchen with the assistance of local farms and suppliers. It is my passion to bring a fine dining experience to the table, that is simple, elegant, and accessible.”
