Mikhail Chalov - General Manager
Born and raised in Russia, Mikhail Chalov moved to the United States as a teenager and adapted to life as a high schooler in Northern California. As a young father, he worked in various restaurants to support his daughter, but it was a job posting at Chez TJ that truly transformed his career. Despite having no fine dining experience, Mikhail eagerly embraced the opportunity and quickly found the role to be eye-opening and pivotal to his future in the hospitality industry.
Scott Klein - Beverage Director
Born and raised in Silicon Valley, Scott Klein began his culinary journey specializing in event catering at local wineries. He later moved to Sonoma, immersing himself in the wine industry for nearly a decade before returning to Silicon Valley to join the Alexander’s Steakhouse team in Cupertino. Here, he contributed to the team’s achievement of a Michelin star and continued to learn about wine, pursuing a formal education with the Court of Master Sommeliers.
