With over 20 years of experience in the service industry, co-owner Patrick Aguirre has worked with Suzanne Goin of AOC and has served as the head baker of Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bakery.
His business partner and wife Stephanie, has managed multiple businesses, from aiding in her family’s seafood distribution company to running restaurants in both Napa and Los Angeles.
