He will also be launching a new dinner menu for The Dining Room in the very near future. Chef Bates will continue to cultivate the restaurant’s farm-to-table menu by developing relationships with area butchers and farmers in order to serve the freshest local meats and produce to restaurant patrons.

Past positions include Executive Sous Chef at Bravo Cucina in Whitehall, Executive Chef at Shula’s Steak House at the Promenade Shops in Saucon Valley, and Executive a la Carte Chef at Saucon Valley Country Club.
