San Francisco — The St. Regis San Francisco, the city’s premier address for luxury accommodations, gracious service and timeless elegance, has appointed Christopher Williams to the position of director of restaurant operations. A certified sommelier and accomplished restaurant industry veteran, Williams joins the property with over a decade of experience in the industry.
Williams is a native of Georgia and began his career waiting tables at Maggiano’s Little Italy in Atlanta. By 2011 he took his first leadership position as captain at Atlanta’s Restaurant Eugene. Williams most recently worked at the 3 Star Michelin Restaurant, The Restaurant at Meadowood, in St. Helena as captain before taking a position at Sonoma County’s award-winning winery, Kosta Browne, during the pandemic. Eventually, he made his way to San Francisco and held the position of captain at Niku Steakhouse which just earned its first Michelin Star in 2021.
