Our Team
Graham Almstead, Chef
An artist through and through, Graham started working in kitchens during his years at Maine College of Art where he studied analog photography. Graham has learned and perfected his own style while working under chefs Andy Hollyday (Selden Standard, Detroit, MI), Bernard Bouissou (Bernard’s, Ridgefield, CT), Ned Claflin (Oran Mor, Nantucket, MA), and Peter Serpico (Serpico, Philadelphia, PA). Now the master of his own kitchen, the menu at Folly is the culmination of Graham’s years of hard work and study, and is inspired by his desire to meld delicious flavors and varied techniques to provide diners with memorable meals.
Jade Barnshaw, Front of House
While Graham takes care of the menu, Jade is concerned with everything else. Starting in high school as a housekeeper, Jade has a passion for creating a relaxing atmosphere and providing diligent service for all guests. After years of housekeeping, scooping ice cream, and answering phones, Jade started working in restaurants while living on Nantucket. She served as a hostess, waitress, and Maitre-d’ at Island Kitchen, Greydon House, and Oran Mor Bistro.
