Meet Our Chefs

Chef Steven Brown

Four-time James Beard Semifinalist for Best Chef Midwest, Steven Brown has worked in restaurants for over 30 years—from The Chief Cafe in his hometown of Custer, SD to the three-Michelin starred Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy. Along the way were many local Twin Cities spots, most notably, Cafe Levain, and his personal favorite, The Loring Café. With each one came a learning experience filled with memories of meals served and friends made.

Steven is a true local restauranteur, owning and operating Tilia and St. Genevieve in South Minneapolis, as well as in his partnership role with Giulia.
