Food becomes art. Art becomes conversation.
Conversation becomes connection.
ABOUT CHEF MEG
Meg’s journey has always blended clay and cuisine. From childhood experiments with family recipes to culinary classes in Bangkok, Istanbul, Tuscany to Palermo, she has sought out flavors at their source. After moving to the Roaring Fork Valley with her husband and two dogs, she honed both crafts—throwing bowls and refining culinary technique. In 2024 she trained at Le Cordon Bleu in Mexico City, returning with sharpened skills and a studio-to-table practice. Today, she sources both locally and abroad, creating menus that honor season, texture, flavor, and aroma.
Our Ethos
ARTISTRY: Each course is approached as art—both cuisine and clay. Michelin-level cooking meets hand-formed vessels: divot plates for pickled fruits, wide bowls for risotto, sculpted forms for desserts. Each ceramic piece adds its own weight, color, texture, and curve—subtly shaping the experience beyond the palate. The result is quietly theatrical: precise cooking, sculptural presentation, and mountain views that shift with the light.
HUMAN CONNECTION: With only six seats, conversation deepens, distractions fall away, and food becomes a shared language. Presence exists to cultivate belonging—not just among guests, but within the broader circle we create. Two seats at every other dinner are gifted - inviting new voices and stories, ensuring that connection extends beyond means or circumstance. Guests leave not only nourished, but also more connected—to themselves, to one another and to their community.
GENEROSITY: Presence was born from a desire to give — to share craft, care, and beauty without reservation. Our commitment to generosity lives in every detail—from the time and care devoted to each dish to the invitation extended through our gifted seat lottery to those who might not otherwise come. We give not out of excess, but from intention. Generosity is not an extra gesture here; it’s the heart of our hospitality.
