Who we are.

Barque Hospitality Group (BHG) is a boutique hospitality company that manages and develops restaurants as well as provides industry-tailored consulting services. Founded by Philadelphia & Nantucket based chefs, Nick and Christine Kondra in 2022. The husband and wife team sought to marry culinary excellence with effortless elegance, which led to the organic growth and development of BHG. 

The mission of BHG has consistently stemmed from the culinary duo’s passion for premier hospitality. The belief that hospitality should present authentically and patrons should always be treated as guests, has endlessly inspired its progression.

This vocation led to the noteworthy success of the Kondra’s first endeavor together as restaurant owners, Cornerstone Bistro & Artisanal Market. Today, BHG has entered an exciting time of evolution and creativity with the extension of a wider range of hospitality projects across the country.
