Raymond Restaurant - Meet the Chef

Chef Tim Guiltinan spent his formative years in Orange County’s finest restaurants.Influenced by chefs, such as Grant Achatz, Pierre Gagnaire and Yoshihiro Murata, who push the gastronomic envelope while maintaining a firm footing in more traditional forms, Chef Tim says his earliest culinary inspiration came from Martin Yan: “Asian cooking is creative and beautiful. It has been a powerful influence in my food preparation and presentation."

As executive chef at the Raymond Restaurant, Chef Tim has intelligently and subtly modernized a classic American menu into one that is both global in its scope and local in its execution, combining the familiar with the exotic into a unified cuisine. He utilizes both classic and modern cooking techniques to create his singular style.
