Chef Eli brings Michelin-level discipline, soulful hospitality, and a deeply seasonal point of view to every table he serves. He sharpened his technique at Al Coro (✻✻), where he worked the antipasti station and supported a precise, high-standard Italian kitchen. His experience also includes Corner Bar, where he developed specials, trained teammates, led stations through high-volume service, and built confidence cooking proteins and vegetables over coals. Eli's style is market-driven, health-conscious, and vegetable-forward, with influences from French, Italian, New American, Japanese, and Vietnamese cooking. He is especially skilled at adapting menus for families, specialty diets, allergies, and guests who want fresh food that still feels exciting and generous. Known for his calm, collaborative approach, Eli listens closely to each client and turns their preferences into thoughtful, personal meals that feel both polished and comforting.
