Albert Vasquez's passion for food began while growing up in Corpus Christi. In high school he landed a job shucking oysters on a Port Aransas marina.

While attending college in San Antonio Albert's experience with seafood caught the attention of British Chef Jonathan Parker. Working at La Mansion Albert was advised he would find his place in the great city of Houston.

From such restaurant as Aries, Gravitas, and Benjy's in the Village Albert was able to show what love and dedication could bring to fine dining. His appetite for local vegetables and culture brings the promise of a passionate paring of flavor and style.
