The Beau Hotel is proud to announce a new name and elevated direction for its signature restaurant and bar: Witherby. More than a rebrand, the change reflects a transformation - what began as a stylish bar quickly evolved into an elegant dining destination. After Chef Robin James launched his California Modern-inspired menu, the team recognized that patrons weren’t just stopping in for a drink - they were staying for the story, the flavors, and the experience. The name Witherby pays homage to the building’s storied past: the original 1886 structure once housed tenant Henry Witherby, the first to lease space in the historic landmark. Today, the name symbolizes a new legacy rooted in tradition and reborn through food. Chef Robin’s menu is personal, drawing on his culinary mentors, family heritage, and global travels. Subtle Mediterranean influences blend seamlessly with the seasonal freshness of California produce, creating thoughtful dishes with layered flavors and unexpected heart. Located in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, Witherby carries forward the timeless elegance and laid-back luxury of The Beau Hotel. Signature dishes include Braised Pork Shank, Duck Pot Pie, Faroe Islands Salmon with carrot-coconut purée, Stonefruit and Burrata Salad, and Kanpachi Crudo with White Corn Salad, each one telling a story, whether from Chef Robin’s upbringing or a faraway kitchen where he learned a key technique. Guests can enjoy handcrafted cocktails at the original 1886 bar - a preserved showpiece of the space - surrounded by exposed brick from PB&Y Company and warm design elements that infuse the historic structure with modern flair. Classics like the 1886 Old Fashioned, the floral Beau Bloom, and the espresso-forward Night Porter remain staples of the bar’s refined cocktail program. Whether you’re here for breakfast, a sunset cocktail, or a night out downtown, Witherby invites you to dine, sip, and unwind in a space where history and modernity meet with effortless charm.
