Snake River Grill

What Snake River Grill does

Snake River Grill is a single-location fine dining restaurant operating on Town Square in Jackson, Wyoming, founded in 1993 by Alan Hirschfield and August Spier. The restaurant runs one nightly service from 5pm to 9pm and serves a destination clientele drawn to the Jackson Hole market — a mix of domestic leisure travelers, ski-season and summer-season tourists, and a base of local high-net-worth residents. The Hirschfield Family retains majority ownership alongside nine additional private partners; the company is privately held and does not disclose financial results.

The core product is a fixed, seasonally rotated à la carte menu with mains priced $34–$76 and large-format plates at $86–$225, supported by a wood-burning oven as the signature cooking platform, a dedicated pastry program, and a beverage platform of 300+ wines plus an extensive cocktail program. Revenue is generated primarily through dine-in service, with secondary streams from private dining events for up to 16 guests, gift-card sales, and corkage fees. Customer acquisition is mediated by OpenTable reservations, Bentobox-hosted brand content, and editorial placements in outlets including Travel + Leisure, Business Insider, and the New York Times.

The operating model is labor-intensive and craft-led: the kitchen is led by Executive Chef-Partner Addison Fleming (Michelin-recognized Frasca alumni) with Chef de Cuisine Alejandro Soto and Pastry Chef Kaitlyn Soto; the front of house is managed by General Manager Sara Dery, Wine & Beverage Director Andy Eckl, and Assistant Manager Chris Plymale, with Managing Partner Katie Cooper providing ownership-side oversight since 2023. The restaurant employs approximately 30 people and operates without disclosed expansion plans, franchise activity, or external capital — a stable, single-unit operator in a constrained destination-dining market.
