Josiah Citrin

"Pursuit of Excellence" is the culinary philosophy that resonates through all the restaurants of American renowned Chef Josiah Citrin. From 2-Michelin star Mélisse**, casual-dining grillhouse Charcoal Venice to gourmet hot dogs at Dave's Doghouse, no matter what the standard or concept, Chef Citrin is continually reimagining and transforming his restaurants. 

Partnered with Chef Ken Takayama at Mélisse**, together the pair have revived their highly acclaimed restaurant in Santa Monica, Los Angeles to guide their guests through a culinary adventure. With an intimate dining room of 14 seats and an open kitchen home to their Mibrasa charcoal oven, guests receive a very exclusive dining experience.  Located in the USA’s heartland of agriculture, Chef Josiah sources his ingredients directly from the Californian farmers themselves to use to form his nine-course tasting menu showcasing modern and classic techniques with flavours influenced from all around the world.
