Cousins, lifelong collaborators, and passionate guardians of Louisiana culinary traditions, Sheneen Brown and Ann Groux are the driving force behind Napa’s first female- and minority-owned soul food restaurant. Together, they masterfully blend treasured Southern family recipes with fresh California ingredients and contemporary flair, turning comfort food classics into award-winning culinary experiences.
Before establishing their celebrated brick-and-mortar home, Sheneen and Ann spent years cultivating a devoted regional following through their premium catering company, Catered with Class, and their legendary “Pop-Up Southern Experience” events. Today, their restaurant has blossomed into a vital community hub where food, culture, and high-energy hospitality intersect.
From their decadent six-cheese mac and cheese and legendary shrimp and grits to crispy fried ribs, catfish, and scratch-made peach cobbler, Sheneen and Ann serve dishes designed to nourish both the body and the spirit. At the North Coast Wine & Food Festival, they bring a vibrant atmosphere where every plate feels like a celebration and every guest is treated like family.
