"The name nods to Richard Bach’s Jonathan Livingston Seagull, a book about non-conformity and a search for higher meaning—it’s one of chef/co-owner Valentin Raffali’s favorites. It makes sense that Raffali’s restaurant has evolved into the non-traditional concept of rotating chef residents, all seeking to express their distinct culinary vision in the compact space with a graffiti façade in the Cours Julien neighborhood. While the menus constantly change, the scene is consistently buzzing with food and wine-loving locals and visitors, with a drink menu focused on biodynamic wines and orange ones in particular." - Lindsey Tramuta, Mary Winston Nicklin
