Ryan Shelton's theme-driven tasting room began in 2018 as a Fillmore Street specialty shop selling house charcuterie, jams and salts, with eight-seat dinners that gradually absorbed the store. In August 2024 it relocated to a 4,500-square-foot SoMa space in the former City Beer Store, where the menu rotates roughly quarterly around a single bold conceit — past chapters have run from a mushroom-laden Into the Woods to a monochromatic Color Theory and a Willy Wonka reverie. Shelton trained as chef de cuisine at the two-Michelin-starred Baumé in Palo Alto; the multi-room space carries an open kitchen, wine room and a ceramics workshop where much of the tableware is made by hand. Capped at twelve diners and Michelin-recommended. For SoMa's most theatrical immersive tasting menu.
