"Dining is an art, keep it simple and let things taste
of what they are." Chef Roland
Chef Roland is a native of Belgium.
((At left, Chef Roland is surrounded by his wife Gail and the Six Tables hostess).
Chef Roland did his culinary training in Brussels at the Ecole Culinaire des Arts et Metiers. Gail and Roland have worked in the food industry as personal Chefs for the past 15 years, two of which they spent working for Ms. Brooke Astor in New York City.
During their career, they have had the distinction of serving Lee Iacocca, Tip O'Neill, Margaret Thatcher, Princess Diana (in the Hamptons), and several former US Presidents among a long list of distinguished others.
Before leaving Manhattan and settling in Florida, they worked in the residence of Mr. John Clay of Clay Finlay Investment Banking. He converted the 3rd floor of his 5-story brownstone on Park Avenue into a private 'dining area' where he could receive his guests and clients on a six-course meal.
It was at that time that Roland and Gail really first had the idea to someday open a very intimate six-course dinner restaurant.
They opened their first Six Tables in Dunedin, Florida in April of 1998, and now also have restaurants in theTampa area and Boca Raton, Charleston, South Carolina, as well as their newest one, here in Las Vegas, near the Summerlin casinos and minutes from the famous Strip. |
