Where It All Started
Hatch was born from the comfort flavors and warm hospitality that Jamie and Stephen Wilson fell in love with during their time living in New Mexico. The smoky chiles, the sunlit kitchens, the easy pace of a meal shared with friends — it all became a part of them.
When they returned to Monterey County, they missed that fire-roasted flavor and openhearted spirit. Hatch is their way of bringing a little bit of that Southwest soul home — a love letter to their favorite food and the feeling it gives.

Our Philosophy
We believe dining should feel extraordinary — every guest treated like royalty, every plate crafted with purpose. Our menu brings together the fire of Hatch chile, the brightness of citrus, and the soul of the Southwest to create something worthy of kings and queens.
Hospitality, to us, means going beyond comfort. From the first “welcome” to the last bite, our mission is simple: make every guest feel seen, celebrated, and indulged.
