ABOUT ONESTO

Onesto is a two-level destination nestled inside Ypsilanti’s historic downtown, and has been intentionally curated to spark connection, celebrate culture, and transform a simple meal into a memorable experience. Derived from the Italian word for “honest,” our flagship brand reflects a commitment to sincerity, integrity, and thoughtful craftsmanship. Every time.

Inspired by the vibrant Mediterranean port cities of Lisbon, Tangier, and Athens, we create elevated dining adventures rooted in seasonal flavors, artful cuisines, and exceptional hospitality. Onesto features a main-floor open dining & kitchen concept with elevated mixology and fermentation, a lower-level speakeasy with private dining and VIP experiences, as well as a seasonal marketplace to elevate your culinary journey - even on-the-go.

A Collective of Builders, Operators and Creators

CRG is built on a multidisciplinary foundation, where each stakeholder brings distinct expertise to the table - aligned not by title, but by a shared commitment to execute a unified vision and see the group through with purpose and precision.

Where Vision Met Experience

At a pivotal moment, Stewart Beal and Grant Slauterbeck found themselves standing at the same crossroads - arriving from very different journeys, yet guided by the same quiet understanding.

 

Stewart saw a path forward for the community he calls home, through thoughtful development and an opportunity to elevate, restore, and bring lasting stability to the places that needed it most.

 

Grant, drawn back home after decades of refining his craft, felt something deeper - a calling to create with intention, to build something personal, something that would endure.

 

Their partnership was not a coincidence, but convergence - where disciplined growth meets soulful artistry, and vision becomes something tangible.

 

Together, they are building more than restaurants.

 

They are creating spaces that feel like a return - where pride is rekindled, connections are restored, and people are reminded of what truly matters.

Invest in What We’re Building

Behind every concept is a foundation of operational discipline, strategic development, and proven leadership across hospitality, real estate, construction, and finance.

We identify high-potential opportunities, develop them with precision, and execute with a level of detail that drives both guest loyalty and long-term performance.

 

This is not a single concept.

 

It is a growing portfolio designed for sustainability, consistency, and expansion.

START THE CONVERSATION

This Is Just the Beginning

At The Current Restaurant Group, Onesto represents the first chapter in a broader vision - a collection of elevated hospitality concepts designed to bring people together through thoughtful food, genuine connection, and memorable experiences.

 

As the group grows, every concept will remain rooted in craftsmanship, intention, and hospitality that feels both refined and approachable. Our philosophy is simple: create spaces with soul - places where quality is uncompromising, the atmosphere is welcoming, and authenticity always outweighs pretense.
