Meet Thomas, Maître d' at Enclos.
Thomas has spent the last decade in hospitality, though his journey began behind the scenes as a baker with a simple goal: to make great bread. Over time, he found himself drawn to the dining room, where he discovered a passion for connecting with people and creating memorable guest experiences.
His time at The French Laundry proved especially formative, giving him the opportunity to work in nearly every role within the dining room. That breadth of experience shaped his understanding of hospitality from every perspective and continues to inform the way he welcomes guests today.
As Maître d', Thomas is often one of the first people guests meet upon arriving at Enclos. He believes the experience begins the moment someone walks through the door, approaching every interaction with authenticity, approachability, and a genuine smile. His philosophy is simple: make every guest feel welcomed, comfortable, and cared for from the very beginning.
What Thomas appreciates most about Enclos is the close-knit team and the shared commitment to thoughtful hospitality. Together, they work toward the same goal each evening: creating an experience that feels seamless, warm, and memorable.
Outside of the restaurant, Thomas enjoys unwinding with a glass of Champagne and spending time with his cat, Reggie. Looking for a local recommendation? Take it from Thomas: stop by The Beacon for a cocktail, then enjoy a stroll around Sonoma Plaza.
