It Starts With Hospitality
Elevated Hospitality was born from a shared passion for exceptional food, thoughtful beverage, and genuine service. Together, we bring our individual backgrounds in culinary and hospitality together to create experiences centered around the people who gather at the table.
The Elevated Hospitality Story
Elevated Hospitality began with a shared belief that the experience of fine dining shouldn't have to exist only within the walls of a restaurant. After years spent working in fine dining, we both came to value not only the food and beverage, but the care, attention, and sense of occasion that make an evening feel truly special.
Working together, we realized we shared the same perspective on what hospitality could look like outside of a restaurant. We saw an opportunity to take everything we had learned from the environments we worked in and create something of our own, something more personal, where we could have a hand in shaping the experience from beginning to end.
Elevated Hospitality grew from that idea. Cody's culinary perspective and J's approach to beverage and service give us different ways of approaching the same goal, while allowing us to consider the experience as a whole.
For us, it's ultimately about creating the kind of evening we would be excited to experience ourselves, one where people can gather around a table, enjoy something exceptional, and be fully present with the people they're sharing it with.
At its core, Elevated Hospitality is about creating an evening where the hosts don't have to choose between providing the experience and being part of it. We take care of what happens around the table so they can be fully present at it.
Our Team
Cody Ginther
Co-Founder | Executive Chef
With more than 15 years as a professional chef, Cody Ginther has built his career across a wide range of culinary environments, from elevated casual concepts to fine dining. His experience has shaped a perspective that looks beyond the plate, considering how food, atmosphere, storytelling, and the flow of service come together to shape an evening.
Cody approaches each menu as part of a larger experience. While technique and thoughtful composition are central to his cooking, he believes the way a meal unfolds—and the environment surrounding it—can be just as important as what is served.
That perspective became a natural foundation for Elevated Hospitality. As Executive Chef, Cody brings his culinary vision to experiences designed not simply around a menu, but around the people, setting, and occasion for which it is created.
Josh Anderson
Co-Founder | Certified Sommelier
With more than 10 years in hospitality, J Anderson has built his career across craft cocktails, fine dining service, and wine. From crafting cocktails behind the bar to serving guests in fine dining and guiding wine service as a sommelier, each role has shaped the way he approaches the guest experience today.
J believes beverage is about more than what is poured into a glass. The balance of a cocktail, the story behind a bottle of wine, the timing of a pour, and the way a pairing interacts with a dish all contribute to how an evening is experienced. Working in Forbes-rated hospitality environments further shaped his appreciation for the details that often go unnoticed, but can elevate an entire experience.
As a Certified Sommelier through the Court of Master Sommeliers, J continues to explore the connection between food, beverage, and service. That perspective became a natural foundation for Elevated Hospitality, where he brings those elements together to create experiences that feel thoughtful, personal, and considered from the first welcome to the final pour.
