We started Axiom Kitchen with a dream and hope. Our vision began from a tragedy and has since become a dream that we hope continues. We dedicate our restaurant to our guardian angel- our son and brother Noah- who passed away tragically on March 19, 2018. We continue to work our hardest and push through difficulties, knowing he has our back! We love you, Noah!
