About this restaurant

Fancy
Hot spot
Good for special occasions

Aphotic, from the Greek (ἀ- + φῶς), meaning “without light,” makes reference to the layer of the ocean that receives less than 1% of sunlight (1000 meters in depth), comprising the majority of the world’s open ocean.

Aphotic Restaurant was born out of necessity. Chef Peter Hemsley set out to establish a best-practice seafood restaurant with transparency and traceability as core objectives, all while delivering unparalleled quality and creative intrigue for the benefit of our guests.

We work with local fisherman and women for the majority of our offerings – the Pacific Ocean is our backyard, after all. Our menus are seasonal, employing the great bounty of California produce to compliment our dynamic seafood program.

Aphotic serves a seasonal ten-course meal for $135 per person, plus service charge and tax. Expect your experience to encompass approximately two-and-a-half hours.

We also serve a limited bar menu; reservations are always recommended.
