Chef Avery Gates

Hi there! My name is Avery Gates I am a French trained pastry chef with a well rounded love for all things food. Throughout my career I’ve had incredible opportunities to work with all aspects of the dining experience from full animal butchery, to working with a master chocolatier. With all these experiences I am able to fine tune cooking to be a representation of the knowledge I’ve received.

Food is a building block for everything we do day to day. Every bite should bring your taste buds, body and mind joy and fulfillment. I strive to work with fresh, seasonal and local ingredients to create a curated dining experience.

As a pastry chef, of course I believe each meal should end with a little sweet treat, so don’t forget to add a dessert or two to your menu.

I look forward to creating a spectacular meal for you and your loved ones.
