Maia Domingues

I turn restaurant-level cooking into an intimate, personal dining experience.

I’m a fine-dining chef with 12+ years of experience across the West Coast, including Chef de Cuisine roles in LA and Seattle and pastry work in Michelin-starred restaurants. With classical French training and a deep foundation in both savory and pastry, I create meals that feel refined, exciting, and full of flavor.

I’m attentive and personable, and I design each menu around what you love—whether that means accommodating dietary needs, highlighting seasonal ingredients, or building a full experience from the first bite to dessert. I also cook with sustainability in mind, minimizing waste and letting ethically sourced ingredients shine.

My secret in the kitchen is cleaning as I go and making every part of the ingredient I’m using shine—because great food comes from care, restraint, and zero-waste mindset.
