Scratch Restaurants started when Chefs Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee decided they wanted to put their personal spin on what a restaurant concept could be. Although each of their concepts are independent and unique from one another, the constant thread that ties all of Scratch Restaurants together is the dedication to the artisanal “from scratch” approach to hospitality. Currently featuring and expanding our Sushi|Bar and Pasta|Bar tasting menu concepts.

All of Scratch Restaurants Group’s concepts are known for their highly curated tasting menus, intimate 10-seat tasting counters with no servers, and dedication to the artisanal “from scratch” approach to hospitality. The group is also known to champion significant change to the restaurant industry and its professionals by offering their staff salaries far above the industry standard and unprecedented benefit packages for all employees. Their continued success serves as a business model for others. It is evident that a commitment to both the team and culinary artistry results in concepts that thrive in the competitive, high-turnover, low-profit restaurant industry.
