We Don’t Follow Trends. We Set Them.
At Epic Brands, we fuse creativity with innovation, passion with discipline, and food with art to craft experiences that go beyond dining. We’re more than a restaurant group — we’re disruptors, innovators, and trailblazers reshaping the industry in our own EPIC way. Every concept we create delivers one promise: to inspire, connect, and exceed expectations.
Luxury reimagined: Wagyu, caviar, and world-class hospitality — no white tablecloths required.
From One Restaurant to a Movement.
Our story began in Covington, Kentucky, when Agave& Rye opened its doors in 2018. From that first day, founders Yavonne and Wade Sarber made a promise: to deliver EPIC experiences to every team member, guest, and community we serve.
That promise has since grown into a family of five distinct concepts, each with its own voice, vision, and vibe — yet all united by the same values of love, respect, and hospitality.
