About Us
Team Bistro 17
Shelter Cove • Hilton Head Island
Being born and raised in the Smokey Mountains, the Lowcountry life kept calling my name, so I made the leap and moved to Hilton Head, SC to attend USCB with a major in Business Administration. I knew my end goal was to eventually own my own business.
I just love this area and the people around, I stayed and started working what always came naturally to me, food and beverage. I have worked every aspect of a restaurant and bar, from back of house to front of house. It’s always been something I enjoyed.
In April of 2014 I had a stroke which left me completely paralyzed on the left side of my body, but I still had goals and was going to work the best I could to meet them even though I was forced to move back to Tennessee where I had a family support system.
After seven years of intense therapy and dedication, I regained the use of my left side, with the exception of my left hand. I knew my working opportunities were more limited at this point and I wanted to move back to beautiful Hilton Head Island so I began looking at businesses for sale.
I came across Bistro 17 which was looking for a quick sale, and I was in a hurry to get back, so I reached out and a month later I was the new owner. All of the wonderful staff stayed on with me and we have been working together since then as a well oiled family machine.
This January we will be doing some indoor/outdoor renovations and are excited to bring a happy and intimate atmosphere for our customers. All of us strive to provide the best quality food and service as possible.
