WHO WE ARE

Pasque embraces the philosophy of 'Nature Based Cuisine' - exemplifying a harmonious relationship to nature by paying close attention to the seasons as well as mindfully sourcing the best products from local farms and ranches. The food aims to represent the possibilities of our interactions with the environment by cooking wild foods and respectfully grown produce and meats. The beverage program will be a nod to the classics with a focus on elegance, execution, and quality. Craft cocktails, curated wines by the bottle, and exciting Zero Proof offerings will be the beverage trademarks of Pasque. Pasque's service and hospitality will match the thoughtfulness and quality of the food and beverage programs. The service model is rooted in classic fine dining with less rigidity and more genuine warmth.

Stellar Jay continues this philosophy but brings the influence of live fire to the cuisine with an open fire hearth. The menu will focus on rustic, communal dishes that fuel the lively atmosphere. The beverage program at Stellar Jay invites guests to enjoy the festive and bright atmosphere of the rooftop restaurant with an emphasis on shaken cocktails, approachable wines by the glass, and playful Zero Proof offerings. Hospitality at Stellar Jay will be intentional, detailed, and knowledgeable while encouraging the rebellious and playful spirit of the setting.
