2017 An Epicurean Feast At SPRUCE

Since opening their doors in 2007, Spruce has received praise and recognition for their food, wine, and unparalleled service. Such honors include one highly coveted Michelin star, 2011-2015. In 2008, Esquire magazine named Spruce one of America’s “Best New Restaurants.” Also in 2008, Food & Wine awarded them the honor of “Best New Wine List.” They currently hold three-and-a-half stars from the San Francisco Chronicle.

Chef Mark Sullivan’s California-inspired cuisine showcases the freshest and finest ingredients available.

Spruce San Francisco

In every neighborhood, village and town, there is a place where people gather.

In Presidio Heights, that place is Spruce, a distinctive restaurant that reflects the charm of its surroundings and provides residents with a welcoming place in which to dine, socialize, and relax.

Steven Pelas - Chef De Cuisine

A native of the California Bay Area, Chef Pelas attended Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School in San Francisco. His first role was as an intern behind the line at Spruce, he was quickly asked to be part of their team. Two and a half years later Chef Pelas left Spruce to stage at Manresa, Los Gatos under Chef David Kinch.

Chef Pelas was asked to join his mentor, Walter Abrams, in reopening Le Bec-Fin in Philadelphia, to hone his French cooking techniques. He remained there until the restaurant closed in 2013. New York City was his next venue, training under Thomas Keller at the three Michelin starred restaurant Per Se. After a few years on the East Coast it was time to return to his roots; with his new family in tow, they came back to California.

Spruce, welcomed him back as their Sous Chef under Chef De Cuisine, John Madriaga. He has remained with Bacchus Management Group in the position of Executive Sous Chef at The ViIIage Pub, Woodside and now as Chef De Cuisine at Spruce.
