AMBER KOSTKA

Chief Operating Officer + Co-Owner

Amber began her career in restaurants as a hostess at 16 and has done just about every job there is to do.

After college - and a failed career in mortgages - she went back to doing what she loved while trying to "figure it all out". A few Eat Pray Love trips later (ask her about her time in India or her thru hike of the Appalachian Trail), one of her favorite restaurants asked her if she wanted a gig at the new location opening in Norfolk.

Growing with the company, Amber has worked from a server, to a manager, to a co-owner and is proud to be a part of a company that is looking to change the way we do things in this industry.

A member of the Executive Council on the Virginia Restaurant Lodging & Travel Association (VRLTA), 2025 LEAD757 class member, Chesapeake Public Schools Culinary Board member, a PTA mom, and a wannabe book worm, Amber keeps herself busy both in and out of the restaurant.
