Maylin Chávez is a native to Tijuana, Baja California Norte and a Rancho la Puerta Alum. Maylin brings her heritage and passion for the sea to each dish she prepares. Her personal and professional experiences cooking in Baja, and around the country while being surrounded by the rich diversity of ingredients has created a direct imprint on her cuisine. “My approach to oyster and seafood cookery is to surprise the senses, and bring a mélange of globally inspired flavors to each bite you enjoy.”
Maylin moved to Portland, Oregon in 2014 to open her first restaurant where Oysters took center stage and the Bounty of the PNW met the flavors of her hometown of Baja.
Her cuisine and restaurant have been featured in Bon Appetite Magazine September 2016 issue, Best New Restaurants, Eater’s 38 hot list, Sunset Magazine, Food Networks Best Oyster Bars in America, Northwest Travel & Life, Wine and Spirits Magazine and many more.
