We’re over the (sun) moon about last week’s @michelinguide announcement awarding The Studio one star.
We are grateful and honored to have our efforts recognized and to be listed among peers and mentors whom we admire greatly.
We are humbled to be just a part of the Oakland restaurant community which has a deep, long-standing tradition of serving excellent food spanning many cuisines.
Biggest thanks to our team past and present for your dedication to providing outstanding hospitality. Y’all are awesome.

Nettle season: blink and you miss it.
Liberty duck-filled pasta with first of the season morels, green garlic, nettles and peas. Finished with duck consomé.
The @sfchronicle_food team just released their annual list of Top 100 Restaurants and we’re super grateful to have been included among many of our friends and peers for whom we have tremendous admiration. Thank you @mackenzie_fegan and @fukufoodz for all your work covering and celebrating Bay Area hospitality.
Sending a huge thanks to all our guests who have patiently stuck with us and supported us this past year and a half!
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: none of this would be possible without our team. Übi, Michael and Nick, y’all are awesome. We’re so proud of you guys. 🌗
We’re honored to have been listed among some of our favorite California Chefs as @beardfoundation finalists. Sending biggest congrats to our fellow nominees for the recognition of all your hard work.
We feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue our craft day in and day out and have been blown away by the support this effort has received.
Literally couldn’t do any of this without the unwavering support of our team- you guys are the very best. 🫶
With gratitude, Alan and Sarah 🌗

Congrats to @sun_moon_studio_@michelinguide@beardfoundation
I photographed Alan and Sara in their restaurant/studio last September for @artculinairemagazine .
@sun_moon_studio_ is a tiny gem in West Oakland. Earthy tones and warm neutrals, fresh-cut florals on each table, pops of burnt orange, bamboo branches, shells in the windows, pulling together the earth and the sea.
The food is exquisite - well deserved recognition for their incredible work!
Many thanks to @beardfoundation for selecting us as 2026 James Beard Restaurant and Chef Award Semifinalists.
We’re so proud of our growing team and their hard work and seriously overwhelmed by the support we’ve received at Sun Moon.
With gratitude, Alan and Sarah. 🌗
