Reverie has shaped me in more ways than I can count. It gave me space to grow through some of life’s biggest challenges all at once—becoming a father, opening a restaurant, and giving up alcohol. It helped me find my voice and define the kind of dining experience I wanted to create—the kind that tells a story, sometimes without needing many words.
