Chef Stephen Marshall
Executive Chef Stephen Marshall oversees the food and beverage of each of the resort’s dining outlets including Medici Cafe & Terrace, Firenze Lobby Lounge, Galileo Bar and the resort’s pool restaurant and the numerous banquets for which he creates one-of-a-kind menu concepts. His cooking philosophy is to stay true to the seasonal ingredients and protect the integrity of the food by keeping the process simple and not masking the flavor. As a result, he creates dishes with a lighter, healthier approach that use less butter, more olive and infused oils and relies heavily upon the food’s natural flavors.
Marshall is a native of San Francisco. Prior to joining The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas, Marshall was the driving force behind the specialty cuisine created for two annual events at The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua including “Celebration of the Arts,” for which he received international coverage on E! Entertainment Television and the annual Mercedes PGA Championship at Kapalua. He is also an alumnus chef for several sister properties including Cancun, Mexico; San Francisco, Laguna Niguel and Marina del Rey, Calif.
