RYAN LAX is our newest staff member and is the relief manager of the various dining facilities. When the Sports Bar renovations are completed he will be the Sports Bar Manager. Just before coming to Frenchman’s, Ryan was the Dining Room Manager at Eastpointe Country Club. Ryan hails from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he was the food and beverage supervisor of 10 Arts Restaurant with celebrity chef, Eric Ripert. He helped to supervise the Opening of Coda in Rittenhouse Square. It is the biggest nightclub in Philly. Ryan attended Arizona State School for film and drama but was drawn into the food and beverage business and became a manger in one of Chicago’s fine steak houses. He then helped to open and recruit staff for the “Bull and Bear Bar,” which to this day is still the number one bar in Chicago. From there, Ryan went to the Ritz Carlton Hotels Company and gleaned more experience and expertise in the field of hospitality, food and beverage. His specialty is opening new upscale dining facilities, hiring the staff and training them. He is well versed in social media and has a background in the knowledge of liquor needed to open fine restaurants and bars. We are happy to welcome Ryan to the Frenchman’s Creek staff and community and are happy he decided to move to Florida from Philadelphia !
