Executive Chef, Partner

Brian Jenzer – who will continue to be Executive Chef of Rosewater Kitchen & Bar said, “I’m thankful for this incredible opportunity for me as a chef, and partner in Las Ramblas – to create a restaurant from the ground-up – from conception and permitting to menu and service design and finally to opening and operating it day-to-day. Giorgios brings the inspiration, and empowers us to bring our own talents to the table.”
