Hi! Im Owner & Chef Coral. I opened my restaurant Garden Kitchen eleven years ago on 5/8/2015 with a 100% from scratch menu changing daily, strictly sourcing directly from local farms. After 8 beautiful years, we lost our lease due to landlord greed.

With the choice not to move locations, I transitioned into a private chef, re-establishing myself while finally learning to balance life and work. When you think about your next special occasion, consider hiring me and my tenured team to create that perfect dining experience. From intimate dinners for two to 100 person weddings, we've done it all ✨️ We uniquely curate and execute your entire vision with a custom menu and I am your only contact throughout your entire event.

Email: [email protected] for inquiries.
