MISSION

At Overthrow, we believe that change does not require sacrifice.

It can be inviting, expressive, and satisfying. Through each of our concepts, we offer a different way to experience that idea, creating spaces where food, design, and atmosphere come together in ways that feel both thoughtful and memorable.

Our approach is rooted in care: for animals, for people, and for the planet, shaping a way of dining that feels as meaningful as it is memorable.

OUR CORE VALUES

What we choose to eat carries meaning. It reflects our habits, our beliefs, and the systems we participate in, often without realizing it.

At Overthrow, we see food as an opportunity to shift perspective. To move beyond habit and toward something more intentional, where vegetables are not an alternative, but the focus. Where flavor, creativity, and satisfaction are never compromised.

Our work is not about restriction, but about possibility, showing that a more thoughtful approach to dining can feel abundant, expressive, and deeply fulfilling.

Compassion

Compassion guides everything we do, from how we treat one another to the choices we make in our kitchens.

It extends to our guests, our team, and all living beings, shaping a way of working that is rooted in care, respect, and a broader awareness of our impact.

Community

Community begins within our walls, with the people we work alongside every day, and extends outward to the neighborhoods we are part of.

We believe in being present, knowing our neighbors, and contributing in ways that feel genuine, from the relationships we build to the role we play in the life of each block we call home.

Creativity

We see each of our spaces as a living work of art, where food, drink, and atmosphere come together to shape a complete experience.

From the pacing of a meal to the details of a room, every element is considered. That same spirit extends to our team, where creativity is encouraged, supported, and allowed to evolve beyond the walls of our restaurants.

Inclusivity

Inclusivity is an ongoing practice, shaped by how we hire, support, and grow our team.

We are proud to build spaces where a wide range of identities and perspectives are represented, with the majority of our team identifying as BIPOC and/or LGBTQ. Through continued learning and a commitment to equity, we aim to create a workplace that feels respectful, supportive, and genuinely inclusive.

Charity

We see hospitality as extending beyond our restaurants.

Through both individual and collective efforts, we support our communities in ways that feel direct and meaningful. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we opened our doors to provide free meals to those in need, serving more than 100,000 meals.

For us, giving back is not separate from what we do; it’s part of it.

Sustainability

Sustainability is built into the foundation of what we do.

A plant-based approach is one of the most effective ways to reduce environmental impact, and it informs everything from our menus to the way we operate. Beyond that, we continue to look for ways to do more, challenging ourselves to go further, from sourcing and waste reduction to new, evolving practices.

Through partnerships like dots.eco, we’re able to extend that impact beyond our restaurants by supporting efforts such as reforestation and ocean cleanup.

Excellence


Excellence is built through repetition, attention, and shared standards.

Across our team, we use “morsels”—short phrases and shared ideas that reflect our standards and help guide how we work. They serve as reminders of what matters, shaping habits over time and reinforcing a culture built on consistency, care, and attention to detail.

Magic

Magic is what happens when everything comes together just right.

The chef, the sommelier, the server, and the room each play their part, creating an experience that feels intuitive, immersive, and quietly transformative. It lives in the unexpected, in the interplay of flavor, atmosphere, and care.
