Chef Norberto Jaramillo

Norberto is deeply involved in conceiving new menus that emphasize local and sustainable ingredients with a technique-based approach. You can enjoy his varied menus, where you can savor exquisite fine dining, as well as exploring Chef Norberto's casual culinary delights, paying tribute to the generosity of farms, fisheries, and artisans in North Florida.

Since Norberto moved to St. Augustine, he began building relationships with local markets and farms throughout North Florida and the idea of brotherhood, instilled in him by his own family, is one he has taken literally, mentoring many chefs under his guidance, including locally acclaimed chefs and some who have gone on to achieve international awards.

In his free time, Norberto loves to share a meal with his family. Most of the time, his wife and children do the cooking. He also takes pride in giving back to the community, working on charitable efforts, and joining other culinary leaders in collaborative organizations.
