From its beginnings as a trade outpost, the Golden State has been a place where the cream rises and the bold take flight. Bluegold celebrates this land, from the vineyards and citrus groves to the rocky coast of the Pacific Ocean. A space where traditional farm-to-table culture is renewed beneath the California sky.
The integration of new and old-world cooking techniques breathes life into everything we do. Because our New American cuisine is centered on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, menu items are subject to local availability.
