Seven Reasons was built to inform a story.
Co-owned by Chef Enrique Limardo and Managing Partner Ezequiel Vázquez-Ger, the Michelin star restaurant group has a laser-focused mission to guide patrons on a culinary journey to uncover their very own magical and gastronomical Seven Reasons.
Seven Reasons will not be your usual dining experience; it’s an exploration of the senses, a celebration of heritage, and an invite to embark on a gastronomic adventure.
The name Seven Reasons is deeply rooted in a belief system crafted by Chef Enrique Limardo. The magical significance of the number seven, representing the seeker all the time in pursuit, led to the birth of the Seven Reasons restaurant group.
The restaurant’s name serves as a catalyst for a unique dialogue between the restaurant and its patrons, further fostering a memorable and personalized dining experience unlike another.
“For me, the number seven is so strong in whatever sense which means in every culture.” Chef Limardo explains to Shawn Walchef of Cali BBQ Media. “Seven is the variety of the seeker; a individual that is all the time in search of more.”
The food takes guests through “a route of exquisite flavors and textures, each presented in his unique way.”
The synergy between co-founders Ezequiel Vázquez-Ger and Enrique Limardo has propelled Seven Reasons into culinary prominence, even resulting in a vaunted Michelin star in 2022.
Vázquez-Ger, a passionate problem-solver, found a perfect match in Limardo’s dedication to creating exceptional food.
“I like fixing problems… there’s nothing that satisfies me greater than fixing a problem,” says Vázquez-Ger. That tenacity to problem-solve couples well with Limardo’s amazing culinary talents.
“After I tried Enrique’s food and I saw his talent, I knew that opening a restaurant with him was going to be a success.”
Together, they’ve forged a formidable team, making Seven Reasons a force to be reckoned with in the competitive restaurant industry.
Maintaining the unique culture of Seven Reasons is paramount for them. They emphasize the importance of hiring employees who not only excel of their roles but additionally harbor personal ambitions to grow of their careers.
Vázquez-Ger believes in understanding the individual goals of every team member and fostering a work environment that supports their aspirations.
This commitment to understanding and supporting the personal and skilled growth of the team underscores the group’s dedication to creating a holistic and thriving culinary culture and aligns well with Seven Reason’s overall vision.
“I can be very glad if, in the future, someone that began working for us told us on day one which in some unspecified time in the future he desires to own his own restaurant,” he says.
