Michele Alvarez, Banquet & Dining / Private Rooms
Hi, I’m Michele Alvarez and I have been the GM of the Orchards Corporation for the last 10 years, and have been employed with the Orchards restaurant for over 20 years.
I started in the hospitality industry as a server at the age of 15 for a Mom and Pop restaurant and loved the energy and flow of restaurant life as well as the human connections you get to make with a great diversity of people.
I have received an associates degree in Business Management from
HCC. Throughout my career I have served, bartended and managed at various restaurants before joining the Orchards family.
It is a delight to work in a very organized facility where every detail is well thought out to ensure that guests have an amazing experience.
Luis Acosta Chef de Cuisine
Everything I know from cooking I have learned from this restaurant. I started as a dishwasher to now being one of the head Chefs’. I have put a lot of work and sacrifice into my profession as a Chef, but I wouldn’t change it for anything
