Chef Matthew Slocombe

Meet the Chef

Born in Massachusetts and a graduate of the New England Culinary Institute, Chef Matthew creates food that is rooted in classical continental cuisine and inspired by global influences. His menus blend comfort foods with fine-dining techniques, highlighting locally-farmed and foraged ingredients, coastal fare, and seasonal offerings. He sees the dinner table as a natural, intentional opportunity for people to gather, connect, and share a unique experience.
