MEET THE TEAM
General Manager
From the bustling streets of New York City, Joanne decided to rejoin her family in the small town of Lake Charles. She has over 30 years of restaurant and bar experience, and she’s the go-to person for any event—big or small!
“I’ve been working in this industry for a long time. My best piece of advice for people wanting to join the service industry is to ‘walk like a New Yorker.’ Passion, discipline, and drive is what’s gotten me where I am today, and you can really tell if someone has what it takes just by the way they walk.”
Joanne DeVito
Ryan Kennedy
Manager & Wine Director
Born and raised in Lake Charles, Ryan found his passion for wine at a young age. He became manager at only 18 years old and started his education with the Court of Master Sommeliers at 21. Whether you’re looking for a juicy Napa Cabernet or a light and zippy Sangiovese, Ryan is the guy to talk to!
“People are always scared to venture into the world of wine because our industry created this idea that you have to ‘look and act the part’ to enjoy fine wine. At the end of the day, it’s your taste that determines what wine is ‘good,’ and I’m just your tour guide!”
