Meet the Family
Owners
Stephen and Kelly's journey began with a shared dream of owning their own restaurant. From traversing coastlines to crossing oceans, their quest eventually brought them back to Virginia, where they crossed paths with Sharon. A visionary and passionate entrepreneur in her own right, Sharon harbored the same aspiration of owning a restaurant. Over time, she evolved into a dedicated partner and an integral part of their family.
ALIAS came into existence alongside the arrival of Kelly and Stephen's first child, Atticus. As Chef Stephen and General Manager Kelly join forces, their unwavering focus lies on delivering a memorable guest experience paired with delectable, locally sourced cuisine. Together, they strive to bring their shared dream to life.
