TESTIMONIALS
“Simon’s performance was a great blend of rock star creativity with classical business acumen. I would not hesitate to do business with him again”
rene bardel
“Simon combines passion, expertise & common sense in his management of people & products. His depth of knowledge coupled with good humor & people skills draw people to him, whether the people be business partners or guests in his many successful properties.”
mary ross
“I worked with Simon for 7 years at KDK Management. I was the Marketing Director and he was the Operations Director so we worked together on the same team for years. I found Simon to be one of the best at what he does, manage people and run restaurants. He was very responsible for developing one of Chicago’s most successful restaurant groups of that time. I would strongly recommend Simon to anyone who wants to open a restaurant or that has an existing restaurant group. He is also a great guy to work with!”
