Established in 2012, Glen Ellen Star is the culmination of a decade-long dream by Chef Ari Weiswasser and his wife Erinn Benziger-Weiswasser. Resembling a quaint farmhouse while invoking a rural and rustic feeling of California wine country, Glen Ellen Star is a taste of both local and international flavors. It is the Weiswassers’ mission to create an inviting, neighborhood-friendly restaurant tha

t consistently exceeds expectations. Ari has worked at New York’s Restaurant Daniel, Picholine, and Paul Liebrandt’s Corton, where he served as Chef de Cuisine. He also had a long stint at The French Laundry in Yountville, CA.

Two skewers. Two completely different moods.

🦐 Gulf prawns from the wood oven with house X.O. and garlic citrus aioli.

🥩 Wagyu beef with miso brown butter jus, egg yolk jam, soy mirin glaze, and toasted sesame.

Your table deserves both.

You almost let someone else order this.
That would’ve been a mistake.

Wood-fired whole branzino with gold bar squash, coconut green curry, crispy rice noodles, hazelnuts & Thai basil.

The candles grow brighter,
The years gather steam.
You keep chasing ideas
That once were a dream.

You laugh through the twists,
You bend, never break.
You always find room
For one more leap of faith.

To family.
To friends.
To the life that you’ve grown.

Happy Birthday, Ari.
We’re lucky you’re ours.

Your GES, Stella, PAC, SMASH & Beacon Family ❤️

Ask Mike one question about a garden tool… and you’ll get a masterclass.

Today’s topic: the broadfork, healthy soil, and why protecting the life beneath your feet matters just as much as what grows above it.

We could listen to this stuff all day. Thankfully, our vegetables do too. 🌿

If your post-holiday motivation is running on about 12%, we have a solution. We’re back at it tonight with warm welcomes, wood-fired favorites, and a dining room that’s a little quieter after the holiday weekend. We’d love to see you!

And if home is calling your name, DoorDash is just a few taps away. We’ll take care of your dinner either way.

There are few things better than listening to someone talk about something they truly love. Watching Mike walk through this garden is a reminder that the best ingredients always have a person behind them.

More than 2,100 tomato plants. Tiny Sungolds. Heirlooms in every shape and color. Months of tending, watching, adjusting, and trusting the biodynamic process.

Soon these tomatoes will make their way into our kitchens and onto your table. They’ll become salads, sauces, butters, spreads, and garnishes across all of our restaurants.

When you taste them, you’re tasting far more than a tomato. You’re tasting the care Mike and Isael have poured into this land for months. You’re tasting healthy soil, Sonoma sunshine, biodynamic farming, and the belief that great food begins long before a chef ever touches it.

That’s the kind of ingredient you can’t buy. Come taste for yourself! 🍅

We don’t reinvent our favorites for the sake of change. We evolve them because the ingredients deserve it.

Summer sweet corn roasts in the wood fire oven until it picks up smoke and char, then gets layered with a zhoug aioli built from fresh herbs, warm spices, and green chile. Feta adds richness. Za’atar brings texture and depth.

It’s a fresh take on a dish that’s been a favorite around here for years.

Simple ingredients. A little restraint. A lot of flavor.
