The inception of Esmé stemmed from a shared passion for the arts and a desire to create a dining experience that transcends traditional boundaries. Co-founders Jenner and Katrina envisioned a space where fine dining could intertwine with the profound narratives of contemporary artists. This vision led to a collaboration that not only showcases artworks but also transforms them into integral elements of the dining experience.
“We both have a deep interest in the arts, Jenner draws inspiration from the artistic process of others, so it felt right when we began collaborating with our artist partners to find a way to fully and completely support them in the space. In fine dining and the arts, storytelling takes center stage so combining the two and bringing them together as a medium just felt right.” — Jenner Tomaska and Katrina Bravo
