Home/Our Team
The People Behind the Pass
A small crew that cooks like it’s home
There aren’t many of us, and that’s on purpose. The same hands greet you at the door, pull your espresso, bake your bread and plate your dinner. Here’s who you’ll meet at Sorrel & Stone.
Theo Hartwell
Co-Owner & General Manager
The one who remembers your name and your usual order. Theo runs the floor, the books and the relationships with every farm on our list.
Simone Marchetti
Pastry Chef & Baker
In before dawn, coaxing the sourdough and laminating the morning buns. Her daily cake is the reason regulars ‘just happen’ to walk by at 10am.
Daniel Reyes
Sous Chef
Keeps the line humming and the braises honest. Daniel leads the whole-animal butchery and turns ‘we have a lot of this’ into the week’s best special.
Claire Donovan
Farm & Sourcing Lead
Spends her mornings at the farms and her afternoons in the garden out back. If it’s on your plate, Claire knows the field it came from.
Marcus Lowe
Hospitality & Events Lead
Host, barista and the calm hand behind every private dinner. Marcus makes sure a full room never feels like one.
