The table is officially set. ✨

For our final Feed It Forward reveal, meet Gavin Schmidt of The Morris, Daniella Banchero of Piccino, Andrew Nelson of Golden Sardine, Andrew McCormack of Early to Rise, and Jacob Croom of My Friend Fernando and Pico.

From restaurants across the Bay Area to one table at The Avalon, this lineup represents the food, hospitality, and community that have been such an important part of our story.

On November 7, we’re bringing everyone together to celebrate where we’ve been, the people who helped get us here, and everything we’re ready to feed forward into the next decade. 💚

20 culinary talents. 10 years. One table. All that’s missing is you.

"Fine dining" and "familial" aren't often paired together, but San Francisco restaurant The Morris manages to combine them into a single experience with one simple mission: "What do we crave?"

We spoke with Chef Gavin Schmidt to talk about his seasonal approach to his menu, and the many ways he and his business partner infused their personalities into every dish.

SIRENE 🍷 MINUS TIDE TAKEOVER • SEPT 2

Kyle, Brad, and Miriam’s wines have been hot on our radar since we first tasted them many years back. We were initially enamored by their Syrah (we still call it California’s Allemand) for its pure elegant fruit, fine structure, and, of course, the peppery meaty wild savoriness that you always expect from the world’s best examples. As we got to know the rest of their range, we just couldn’t get enough of that throughline of freshness that makes all of their wines so special.  So after hundreds of bottles popped and poured, dozens of dinners, and even a Legends Dinner featuring them at The Morris, we are excited to host them again here at Sirene for a Wine List Takeover!  Expect library vintages, flights, special glass pours, and more! We can’t wait to see you! by @chefgschmidt

we’ve been f o r t u n a t e enough to be
welcomed , in our collaborative experiences ,
into restaurants where the company culture
is very present the second you step in the door .

in a world over-saturated with dining options ,
it is important to look beyond what’s being
served at the table .

where do we draw the line on sustainability ?
product sourcing , product waste , upcycling ?

but what about the livelihoods of the people
that give life to a place ?

beyond a paycheck .

creating an environment that p r o m o t e s
growth , equality , teaching , community
respect &&& camaraderie

stepping into places where that culture is
f e l t with every interaction , not only is
it refreshing but also o p t i m i s t i c .

At the beginning of June, we had the pleasure of welcoming Marco @marco_pelletier and Satria @satriavue from Vantre restaurant Paris, as part of our ongoing 10th anniversary celebrations. The evenings were filled with generosity, laughter, and the kind of warmth that reminds us why we gather around the table in the first place.

There was an incredible amount of wine poured, countless stories shared, and dishes that had everyone talking long after the last course.

Marco is a true ambassador of wine, and paired with Satria’s thoughtful and expressive cooking, the two helped to create an experience that felt both effortless and unforgettable.

The energy was joyful, and familiar, and deeply connected, exactly the kind of atmosphere we always hope to create at the Morris.

So much fun, so much heart, and so many wonderful memories made around the table. Thank you to our team and everyone who joined us and helped make these two evenings so memorable. See you at our next event. @themorris_sf taken in The Morris by @chefgschmidt

It’s hard to narrow down 20 photos to describe what an incredible evening this was.
Another unforgettable Legends Dinner is in the books, hosted by The Morris with @rarewineco Manny Burke and Ricardo Freitas.

We shared stories, laughter, and some truly remarkable wines, including Madeiras dating back to 1868. It’s almost impossible to comprehend that date, let alone have the privilege of tasting something that has endured for more than 150 years.

Nights like these remind us that wine is more than what’s in the glass. It’s history, craftsmanship, and the people who gather around the table to share it.
Our deepest thanks to Manny, Ricardo, and everyone who joined us for such a special evening. taken in The Morris by @chefgschmidt
