Campton Place

Chef Srijith Gopinathan hails from Southern India, where he grew up cooking with his mother and grandmother. Beginning his career with luxury hotels in India, Srijith began realizing his potential to harmonize flavors and classical European cooking with the memories of his youth.

On the path to establishing his interpretation of food, he found himself at the Culinary Institute of America, Hyde Park NY and in the kitchens of Raymond Blanc and Gary Jones at the famed Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons, Oxford England (a Two Michelin Star Restaurant).

Finding himself at the helm of a kitchen on the exotic islands of the Maldives, Srijith commanded menus with seasonal produce procured daily from across the world. The guests of the over a thousand dollars a night resort dined at the copper clad bar, watching every single element of the 21 course meal prepared for the eight diners.

The Campton Place Restaurant has been a landmark dining destination for over two decades. Continuing the culinary journey since February 2008 Chef Srijith Gopinathan brings a distinctive palette to San Francisco diners.Weaving classic combinations with unexpected elements, Chef Srijith earned a coveted Michelin star for his unconventional style in 2010 : taking California cuisine on a Mediterranean tour with distinctive Spice Route influences.

Using only the freshest, finest and healthiest of produce from our repertoire of local farmers and the richness of the region's ever-changing wonderful seasonal bounty.

A treat for the senses awaits diners.
