Patrick O’Dawe

Corporate Executive Chef

Our chef began his deep appreciation for culture and food growing up as a military kid in Germany where he and his father would walk to the local market every Sunday morning for “real” chocolate and a bag of brötchen. He graduated culinary school from Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte, NC after receiving a bachelor’s degree in hospitality management from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. He worked his way through multiple kitchens and hotels throughout the Southeast, everywhere from Walt Disney World to hotels in our nation’s capital and several independently owned restaurants, learning alongside James Beard House recognized Chefs. He believes in old school recipes and techniques, with a new age flare. “I strongly believe that you can have a modern, high-end quality meal without the pretentiousness of it all.” Chef Pat and his team aim to meet your expectations and then some. In his spare time, Chef Pat enjoys listening to live music and spending time outdoors with his beautiful wife and their two children.
