For a more casual experience or pre dinner cocktails, head over to our lovely Grille. Opening 2020: We are excited to report that a beautiful new bistro, with outdoor seating and open all day will be coming soon!

Bukola Ikuomola - Pastry Chef

Pastry Chef

Bukola Ikuomola

This talented young chef is a first generation American and she is blending cultures, flavors, and styles to bring something completely new and fresh to Brightwood residents.

Bukola’s roots hail from Nigeria, so balancing cultures and traditions comes naturally. This Culinary Institute of America graduate knew from an early age that pastry was her passion. Inspired by Food Network stars such as Gale Gand and Jacque Torres, she began experimenting and playing with flavors in her childhood kitchen. Her attention to detail and precision works seamlessly with the artist within and the results are as beautiful as they are delicious.

She was attracted to Brightwood because of the extraordinary creative freedom and leadership she has over her work. That combined with the direct connection she has to the residents is why she loves creating for this wonderful community.
