Dining at ALEO

Whether you’re looking for a morning pastry or a one-of-a-kind sip, ALEO sits at the heart of exceptional food and drink experiences. Just steps away, guests can indulge in the James Beard Award–winning offerings at Warda, the namesake pâtisserie of chef Warda Bouguettaya, serving French-inspired delicacies and breakfast pastries. Immediately adjacent to ALEO is Father Forgive Me, housed in the Shepherd’s former garage. This thoughtfully designed bar offers expertly crafted cocktails, small-producer wines, and a seasonal menu of small plates and light bites. For private dining, ALEO’s chef’s kitchen is available upon request, but limited to full property rentals and private events.

Please note: Warda is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and Father Forgive Me is closed on Tuesday.
