Christian Graves
Executive Chef
Jsix Restaurant and J6Bar
Jsix and J6Bar feature the cuisine of Executive Chef Christian Graves. Graves' dinner, lunch, breakfast & brunch menus celebrate coastal cuisine in a refreshing combination of clean, bright colors.
Starting with the freshest of seafood, flown in daily from all over the world, Chef Graves takes an artisanal "Slow Food" approach. From “the boat to his pan,” Chef Graves' chooses sustainable seafood from the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch list as well as the best local organic produce from area farms - organic pork from the Temecula area, grass-fed beef from California and natural lamb from Colorado. As a result, diners are assured they are not only eating fresh, but smart and responsibly.
Prior to joining Jsix, Graves spent five years as the chef de cuisine at San Francisco's esteemed Farallon restaurant, working with Chef/Owner Mark Franz in preparing stunning, innovative cuisine. Before that, Graves worked at other top San Francisco restaurants, including MoMo's, Aqua, Roti and One Market.
