Second Harvest, employing individuals with special needs to
provide opportunity through jobs, and learning and donating
shucked oyster shells to the Florida Oceanographic Society to
help rebuild our reefs, Kyle G’s gives back to the area in ways
that are invaluable.
COMING FULL CIRCLE
Built in 1989, the venue started its journey as a laid-back
beach spot called Island Reef. Next came Rotties in 1999, a
more upscale and country club-like establishment where
Greene worked at age 17 after deciding to become a chef.
“This is where I learned fine dining and how to really educate
myself on food and quality,” Greene says. “I learned so
much from the team, and it really set the tone for my career.”
The notorious hurricanes of 2004 sadly left Rotties defeated
in their wake. While the building sat empty for nine years,
Greene went on to graduate from Florida Culinary School
(more recently known as Lincoln Culinary Institute) and
utilized several opportunities to learn front and back of
house operations.
Fast forward to 2013 when the original general manager
of Rotties re-opened as Pietro’s on the Ocean. Greene served
as executive chef for a short tenure, and with the passion for
building teams and helping others succeed that he developed
early in his career, he began to develop a business plan for his
next endeavor.
When Pietro’s closed its doors in June 2017, Greene soon
discovered that the location he had so much history with —
the place where it all began — would become available. “I
was given the opportunity to meet with the landlords and
told them I would drop everything to do this,” Greene recalls. >>
