Food Preparation
Our culinary team is able to satisfy all your dietary restrictions, allergies, and personal preferences. Please kindly communicate any details to your Catering Sales or Event Manager in advance of your functions. Please be advised that consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish or eggs may increase your risk of food borne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
To ensure the quality and safe handling of products serviced by the hotel, we request that no food and beverage may be transferred or re-plated. In addition, food may not be removed from any function by the client or any of the invitees.
Beverage Service
The hotel’s mixology and sommelier teams are available to suggest a wide range of beverage selections to compliment your event. The hotel is the only authorized licensee to sell alcohol on the premises and kindly requests that all beverages are served by the hotel’s personnel only. In addition, the hotel’s alcoholic beverage license requires the hotel to request proper identification of any person of questionable age. The hotel may opt to refuse alcoholic beverage service if the person is either under age or proper identification cannot be produced as well as to any person who, in the hotel’s judgment, appears intoxicated.
Kosher Meals
Should you require kosher meals, the hotel can accommodate your request
upon advance notice of five (5) business days from the start of your event. Meal types and components are subject to change based on the vendor’s
availability. The hotel will source all kosher meals from a preferred vendor with pricing relative to the current banquet menu.
Bottle Handling
In the event outside beverage products are serviced by hotel personnel, bottle handling fees (taxable) may be assessed. Fees will be reviewed with you by the hotel in advance of the event/function.
Chef Tony France
Executive Chef, Tony France, is responsible for the oversight of all aspects of the food and beverage operation for five restaurants and lounges, banquet functions, 24-hour in-room dining and special events at the new 888-room meetings and resort destination that opened in February.
France was drawn to cooking from a young age. Native to Los Angeles, California, and raised by his mother and grandparents, he spent much of his time in the kitchen with his Sicilian grandfather who was instrumental in growing his passion for cooking through the exploration of new foods. After briefly studying business, Tony followed his dream to culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in Pasadena, where he graduated with honors. He began his culinary career in the kitchen at a private club in Hollywood, before moving on to hotels, eventually landing at luxury addresses in Marina del Rey, Venice Beach, Palm Springs, and Santa Barbara.
France joins Loews Hotels from his most recent post as Executive Chef at The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas, where he worked alongside Michelin-Starred Chef and restaurateur, John Tesar, to re-concept the Resort’s signature restaurant, Knife Italian. He has held the title of Executive Chef since his arrival to Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas in December 2021, before the property transitioned to The Ritz-Carlton.
Cooking aside, Tony is passionate about developing future talent, creating signature dining experiences for guests, and showcasing his creativity to banquet operations. He joins the culinary leadership team including Executive Sous Chef, Andres Cisneros, Chef de Cuisine, Dustin Traylor and Executive Pastry Chef, Krista Owens.
