About Thomas

Chef Thomas's culinary career began early on, as he was immersed in his family's love of the hospitality industry and all things quality. While living in Las Vegas, Chef Thomas worked with the great chefs of the world, including Joachim Splichal from Patina in Las Angelas, Stephen Kalt from the famed Le Cirque, and Spartina, Ludo Lefebvre from Bastide and Trois Mec, Mario Batali, Guy Savoy, and David Feo from Lutece. After landing at Tao Asian Bistro, the world’s highest-grossing restaurant, he was living his dream, learning cuisines from around the globe. There was nothing that was going to stop his creative energy. In 2012 he moved his family to Seattle looking for a more wholesome atmosphere to raise his two daughters. He soon led the culinary team at Chandler’s Crab House on Lake Union, under the corporate umbrella of Schwartz Brothers Restaurants. From there he opened a new Tutta Bella location as Culinary Director, then managed The Woodman Lodge in Snoqualmie. His culinary journey led him to Ethan Stowell’s Italian inspired Tavolata Restaurant as Executive Chef. He then opened the George at the Fairmont Olympic as Executive Chef of Restaurants. With his wealth of knowledge, Chef Thomas creates innovative and vibrant dishes, infusing flavors from his global cuisines to provide a world class dining experience for our Members and guests at the top of the tower.
