With more than seventeen years behind the stove, Chef Jordan Mackey has led the kitchens of several notable restaurants including the Grove Isle Hotel & Spa in Miami, La Playa Beach & Golf Resort in Naples, and Meritage, also located in Naples, Fla.
Mackey was named “Chef of the Month” in October 2003 by Entrée Magazine, and his dishes have been featured in Travel & Leisure and numerous television stations throughout Florida and Washington.
Chef Mackey took the helm at Napa’s Restaurant Cuvee in Sept ’10, with “no preconceived notions” of what the restaurant should be. Inspired by Restaurant Cuvee’s “Urban Farmhouse” feel, Chef Mackey has created what he likes to call “High Country Cuisine,” drawing inspiration from the wine country grape farming lifestyle and the high level of expectation for wine country food and drink.“At Cuvee we will be constantly looking for ways to combine the local fruit of the land into new country-inspired creations with a nostalgic edge, and wonderful people to share it with.”
