Michelin-Starred Marlena Loses Chef Couple in Turmoil

Chefs David and Serena Fisher, who turned Marlena into a Michelin-starred restaurant in San Francisco, announced their departure due to conflicts with the restaurant's owner, Stephan Roulland. The couple cited a prolonged deterioration of the business relationship, including delays in renovations and changes to their employment contracts that resulted in decreased profits. Marlena will close for the month of July and reopen in August under a new chef, while David and Serena hope to reopen a restaurant under the Marlena name in the future.
