PRESS RELEASE
September 30, 2021
Rosewood Sand Hill, the luxury hotel set across 16 acres in Menlo Park, is pleased to announce that its signature restaurant, Madera, has earned a Michelin one-star designation for 2021 – a distinguished honor for the resort’s Executive Chef Robert Sulatycky and the restaurant’s culinary team. Following a one-year pause due to the impacts of COVID-19, The MICHELIN Guide returns this year to award Madera with a one-star designation, placing the restaurant amongst an exclusive and elite group of 90 restaurants in California, each branded with a mark of consistent excellence across all categories.
“Following a challenging year for the restaurant and hospitality industry across the globe, we are most pleased to announce that Madera has earned one-star status in the 2021 MICHELIN Guide, one of the leading authorities in the industry,” said Philip Meyer, managing director of Rosewood Sand Hill. “Under the new leadership of Executive Chef Robert Sulatycky and our passionate culinary team, Madera continues to solidify Rosewood Sand Hill’s reputation as a luxury dining destination, and we look forward to continuing to provide the most incredible culinary experiences to our guests.”
The MICHELIN Guide is an international benchmark in gourmet dining that rates over 30,000 establishments using a rigorous selection process implemented across 30 territories across three continents. Inspectors dine at each venue anonymously to ensure objectivity before convening to discuss each restaurant’s qualifications. Upon completion of these deliberations, inspectors determine which restaurants should be retained in the coming year’s selection, and which are to be granted one, two or three stars. The 2021 MICHELIN Guide covers restaurants across the world and features an exclusive group of 90 restaurants in California.
“It is a true honor to be included in the prestigious MICHELIN Guide in the company of some of the best restaurants in the world,” said Executive Chef Robert Sulatycky. “Upon taking leadership at Madera this year, my intention has always been to maintain the restaurant’s highly regarded reputation while incorporating new elements to showcase the Northern California’s rich and natural bounties. The dedication, effort and passion among our team at Madera is unparalleled, and we are humbled to be recognized by the MICHELIN Guide.”
Madera offers a menu that champions the many culinary traditions of the Bay Area in a refined, yet approachable way. Their artfully crafted dishes honor the rural culture of the region, showcasing bold flavors created from sustainably harvested seafood and meats, and locally-sourced seasonal produce. The restaurant and adjacent lounge spill into the resort’s outdoor space lined by lush gardens and groves and offer stunning views of the pristine Santa Cruz Mountains.
