We’re obsessed with delivering better.

Better food. Better drinks. Better service. Better systems. We believe guests notice when every part of the experience gets just a little bit better, so that’s what we work on, every day.

Our Values

  • Operational Excellence

    We keep our places running smoothly by building systems that work, training our teams well, and holding ourselves accountable. When the back end works, the guest experience feels effortless.

  • Long-Term Thinking

    Every decision we make considers how it will impact our guests, our teams, and our community years from now, not just next quarter. From the way we design our spaces to the partnerships we form, we choose what will create lasting value.

  • Unreasonable Hospitality

    We believe great hospitality goes beyond good service. We look for ways to surprise and delight our guests and create moments they will remember. We treat each guest like they’re the most important person in the room, because they are.

  • Respect for the Details

    The little things are never little to us. We obsess over lighting, playlists, plating, and every tiny interaction because we know those details are what make an experience feel special. When the details are right, everything else clicks.

  • Investing in our People

    Our team is the heart of everything we do. We hire carefully, train intentionally, and give our people opportunities to grow into leaders. When we take care of our team, they take care of our guests, and that is the foundation of true hospitality.

  • Relentless Improvement

    Good enough is never enough. We review, gather feedback, and look for new ways to refine what we do every day. Whether it’s improving a recipe or rethinking how we serve our guests, we believe there is always a better way.

Origins

This story begins the way most lasting ones do: in moments shared over a meal. For Frank Mandaro, hospitality wasn’t a business first. It was a passion born out of countless conversations, late nights, and the simple joy of seeing people connect over food.

He built his life across industries, but the spark was always there: a love for the craft of dining, for the hum of a restaurant in full swing. Today, that spirit carries forward. The next generation has taken up the mantle, shaping Mandaro Hospitality around the same principles Frank lived by: grit, discipline, and an unwavering belief in the power of food to bring people together.

Mandaro Hospitality is more than a company. It is the continuation of a legacy, built not only on success and failure, but on the enduring truth that hospitality is about belonging, and that the best stories are written around a table.
