Meet Chef Oliver

After training in some of Europe's most prestigious kitchens, Chef Oliver Collins returned to his Oregon roots with a vision: to create a restaurant that celebrates the bounty of the Pacific Northwest through the lens of artisanal cooking techniques. Drawing inspiration from his grandmother's kitchen, where he first fell in love with cooking, Oliver founded this kitchen in 2012 as a space where tradition, innovation, and community come together on each plate.
