Our story

A small kitchen, with a long memory.

Two friends, a hearth, and a slightly stubborn idea about what dinner should feel like.

Beginnings

We started cooking together in 2018.

Chef Maya Bishop and sommelier Daniel Ortiz met working a chef's tasting in Healdsburg. Six years and one pandemic later, they took over a 32-seat space on 24th Street, lit a fire, and opened the doors as Sable.

  • 32 seats + 12 at the counter
  • Wood-fired hearth, no microwaves
  • Open since spring 2024

Chef Maya Bishop on the menu.

“The menu is small on purpose. Six dinner mains, four pastas, a handful of snacks. We change it most weeks because we're cooking what looks best at the market that morning. If the carrots aren't right, the carrot dish doesn't go up.”
