Being DYNAMIC

  1. (of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity, or progress.

  2. (of a person) positive in attitude and full of energy and new ideas.

We operate under the principle of being dynamic…

This a quote from a New York Times article entitled “How We Chose The Most Exciting Restaurants in America” dated September 2022: “Mr. Gallagher, who led the team, said it wasn’t just the food they considered — they also took into account the service, the atmosphere and the ambition of the cuisine.’”

Writing a new menu each week is not only dynamic but it’s pretty ambitious. New wines, new n/a pairings. Our restaurant is an ever changing entity with strong systems that keep us anchored. Our entire staff works hard to make this happen. Sometimes guests may use phrases like “the dishes were well executed but didn't feel exciting.”

I’ll take “well executed.” This is the foundation of going out to eat. I like to think that the excitement of coming in and having a special place to be with your dining partner checks off that box in its own right…

Dynamic means that when a guest says “hey…this wine is not quite what I was expecting” we provide an alternate. Or when we check in and a guest mentions “this is slightly salty for my palate” we remake the dish. Dynamic means you have different menu items to chose from every week and you can decide if that sounds like what you would enjoy, as a diner in our house. We work to maintain an exceptionally good, well rounded and consistent service each day. ‘Be dynamic. Just like life. Innovate. Create. Explore. Never become stagnant.’ - Akin Olokun

Agreed.
