Welcome to T&F Kitchen
Our Services & Operations
Thursday & Friday Lunch 10am-3pm
Every week, we open our doors for a casual, yet elevated and sophisticated dine-in experience — as well as To-Go Orders.
We offer our T&F Kitchen Signature Menu, as well as weekly special desserts, beverages, and dishes, served in our eco-friendly containers or dinner-ware upon request.
Our intimate and tastefully designed dining area has an occupancy of up to 15 people, and can sit groups of up to 6 people.
Friday Dinner 5pm-9pm
Fridays at T&F extend into the evening with dinner service from 5–9pm. Our menu blends select favorites from the T&F Signature Menu with rotating dinner exclusives—chef-inspired dishes crafted to bring new depth and flavor each week.
Seating is limited in our intimate dining space, and reservations are strongly encouraged to ensure availability. Walk-ins are welcome as space allows.
Weekend Dinners & Brunches
On select weekends, T&F hosts special pop-up dinners and brunches—intimate gatherings that showcase seasonal ingredients, chef-driven creativity, and soulful flavors beyond our weekly menu. Each event is a rare chance to experience T&F in a new light, with limited seating, reservations released in advance, and menus designed to surprise, delight, and nourish.
Private Dinners & Events
T&F transforms into your own private dining space for special gatherings, intimate celebrations, and curated events. Whether it’s a family-style feast, a chef’s tasting menu, or a soulful dinner party, we design each experience around your vision.
Our warehouse hideaway can host up to 18 guests for a sit-down dinner, with flexible arrangements for smaller groups. Every detail—from the menu to the atmosphere—is tailored to create a one-of-a-kind evening of connection, nourishment, and outstanding flavor.

About Us
T&F was born from a shared dream between Chef Alejandra Martin and Alejandro Schroeder—a Latin mother-and-son team dedicated to creating food that feels as good as it tastes.
Rooted in family tradition and inspired by a passion for artistry, T&F is a space where nourishment, creativity, and connection come together. Every dish is crafted with intention, blending home-cooked recipes with modern, chef-driven flair.
Our values guide everything we do: balance, integrity, real ingredients, bold flavor, and thoughtful presentation—all designed to leave you feeling both satisfied and inspired.
Chef Alejandra Martin has spent over a decade in the kitchen, building her own meal prep, cooking class, and catering business. Her dream has always been to open a restaurant, and T&F marks the first step in bringing that vision to life.
Alejandro Schroeder, Alejandra’s youngest son, recently graduated high school. With big ambitions, a curious spirit, and a love for creativity, he saw T&F as the perfect place to learn, explore, and help shape something meaningful from the ground up.
