ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER

Rafael began his career in real estate and business development in Oklahoma but quickly discovered his true passion after working at a family-owned restaurant in Dallas, Texas. Over the past eight years, he has fully embraced the hospitality industry. What he loves most about his work is connecting with people. He thrives on building relationships with those who share his enthusiasm for memorable experiences through amazing food and cocktails, and the atmosphere that brings it all together.

He finds fulfilment in being part of his team’s growth and strives to be the kind of leader who helps them develop not only in their specific roles, but also in their own personal growth that will one day benefit them in their future endeavours. 

Outside of work, he loves visiting new restaurants and going to the movies (comedy or horror preferred). And shopping! Don’t forget shopping.
