About Starry Nights

Chef Matt and Denise Jones, both lifetime residents of the Northwest, simply love food. They love to eat food, cook food, talk about food, and throw parties with lots of food. Their journey started in 2003, while on a volunteer vacation to teach English in Spain. They were so inspired by the Spaniards' passion for food and celebration, that upon returning home, Matt quit his job at Microsoft to pursue his dream of becoming a chef.

In January 2006, Starry Nights opened as the premier event space on the Eastside, spotlighting Matt's fantastic food in a festive and intimate atmosphere. We invite you to experience the warmth and joy of food as we know it...
