CHRIS WATKINS

Executive Chef Chris Watkins brings decades of experience and innovation to the kitchen. Expect a progressive menu experience with regionally sourced seafood, ranch fare, California produce and surprise elements; one that begins with smaller bites to share among loved ones and leads into premium beef, seafood and vegetarian plates paired with an impressive worldly wine list, playful brews and creative desserts. Think: California-meets-Mediterranean flair.

Watkins studied at Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Portland and interned at a restaurant in Switzerland before spending the next decade honing his craft in San Francisco at restaurants like Coi by famed chef Daniel Patterson and the coveted mod-French Jardiniere. The father of two has made Truckee-Tahoe his home for the last 12 years and spends his free time chasing powder.
