ELEVATE: Field Guide of the Plateau | Winter 2021-22

Q Tell us about you; How long have you been in business and what made you decide to go into the restaurant business.

A I started in the service industry young. I began working with the Darden Restaurant Group when I was 15 and later worked on one of their national concept opening teams for eight years. “ Traveling to different states and meeting interesting people was an amazing opportunity.” I had plenty of experience to fall back on when it came to opening my own place and a vision. I was recruited by the Sapphire Valley Masters Association to take over the Four Seasons Grill that sat at the base of the Sapphire ski slopes. After a year of renovations, SlopeSide Tavern was all set for our grand opening on March 17th, 2020 then COVID-19 shutdowns began. But, I held on and finally opened to the public on June 1st, 2020. If you think running a restaurant during a pandemic is harrowing, try opening in the middle of one.

OPEN Monday, Wednesday-Saturday 11am - 8pm CLOSED Sunday & Tuesday
