The Aperture is focused on its mission of creating meaningful experiences and human connection through intentional, balanced, and focused hospitality.  Conceptualized and led by Chef + Owner Jordan Anthony-Brown (a 2025 James Beard Semifinalist), the restaurant is heavily rooted in coastal cuisines and regions, along with our reverence for local and seasonal produce, preservation techniques such as pickling and fermentation, and live-fire cooking by way of our wood-fired hearth - the focal point of the kitchen, and in many respects the restaurant itself. 

As a team, our goal is to facilitate a dining experience where our guests are able to share dishes with one another, be present in the moment and, ideally, create a memory or two along the way.  We seek to utilize our individual and collective experiences to manage complexity and creativity behind the scenes, but ultimately present food and beverages that balance surprise, familiarity, and a sense of nostalgia. But simply put, we cook the food, pour the wines, and shake (or stir) the drinks that we ourselves enjoy - and our goal is for our guests to feel the same.
