THE HERITAGE

Restraint and Fire

We celebrate coastal Mexican culinary traditions with modern restraint, pairing ancient nixtamalization with sustainably caught cold-water seafood from local waters.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Cold Water, Wild Fire

We partner exclusively with sustainable Pacific Northwest fisheries, bringing fresh cold-water catch to our wood-fired hearth each evening.

THE SEA
THE LAND

Restored Sourcing

Single Producer Agave

Every fish is harvested by independent coastal fishers. We respect the ocean's seasonal limits, changing our raw bar daily based on what arrives perfect.

Our mezcal program honors ancestral traditions. We source directly from family-run palenques in Oaxaca, celebrating the raw complexity of wild agave.

THE NIXTAMAL

Ancient Corn Rituals

Every morning begins with heirloom blue corn, water, and limestone ash. This is the foundation of our kitchen.

/ STEP ONE

Heirloom Sourcing

We import single-origin blue corn directly from small farms in Oaxaca, supporting biodiversity and fair agricultural trade.

STEP TWO

Stone Grinding

Using hand-carved volcanic stones, we grind the nixtamalized kernels into a fragrant, pliable masa every single morning.
