Executive Chef Justin Cogley’s and Pastry Chef Yulanda Santos’ cooking philosophy is built first and foremost on spontaneity. With access to an array of outstanding local products as well as ingredients and artisan purveyors from around the world, Cogley and Santos focus on incorporating these elements into their ever-changing menus. The Chef’s Tasting Menu, which changes daily, is designed by the

chef and is drawn from a list of up to 20 ultra-seasonal ingredients that may appear as either a main component of a dish or as an accompaniment. Integral to the Chef’s Tasting Menu are the elements of surprise and spontaneity: each dish is a natural progression in flavor and reflects the chef’s imaginative artistry and ability to create a gastronomic journey from 20 pristine ingredients. For a supplement, course-by-course wine pairing are chosen specifically for each course.

At Aubergine, excellence is not a destination—it is a daily choice.

Every service is an opportunity to become better than we were yesterday. Every detail matters. Every interaction matters. Every plate, every pour, every welcome, every farewell contributes to a guest’s memory that will last long after they leave Carmel.

The pursuit of the highest level of hospitality demands more than technical skill. It requires humility, discipline, curiosity, and an unwavering commitment to one another. It means anticipating needs before they are spoken, creating moments that feel effortless, and understanding that true luxury is found in genuine care.
