The new year has brought a new director to help lead the award-winning Food & Beverage team at San Diego’s Favorite Casino, Valley View Casino & Hotel. Their new Food & Beverage Director, Maneesh Rawat, has joined the Valley View team to enhance their award-winning cuisine and to raise the level of guest service to one that is higher than ever before.
Rawat is a highly skilled professional with over 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry. He comes to Valley View from The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, where he served as the Assistant Director of Food & Beverage for the past seven years.
During his time at The Resort at Pelican Hill, Maneesh led a team of 350 experienced F&B professionals. He was heavily involved with daily operations throughout the Five-Star, Five-Diamond resort. Through his passion and strong leadership skills, Rawat inspired his staff members to take pride in their position and to always provide guests with exceptional, personalized guest service.
Valley View is proud to welcome Rawat to the team because of his many capabilities, highlighted by his unique ability to make all guests feel at home on every visit to Valley View, just as he did every day at The Resort at Pelican Hill. Guest satisfaction and the highest quality food are two very important aspects of Valley View and Rawat aligns perfectly with Valley View’s promise to deliver excellence in every area of the casino and hotel.
“Maneesh exemplifies what we stand for, exceptional food and beverage quality while offering a guest experience that is second to none. His passion and knowledge coupled with his experience of working within multiple styles of service throughout his career creates an immense portfolio of reference,” said Howard Silver, Vice President of Food & Beverage and Hotel Operations at Valley View Casino & Hotel. “Working with the team on a day-to-day basis will bring Valley View’s restaurants to an even higher level of guest experience for our guests to enjoy and appreciate.”
Rawat will be overseeing all of the food and beverage venues available to guests throughout Valley View Casino & Hotel while working with the leadership team and their teammates to achieve new heights in guest service levels.
“I am honored and humbled to be part of Valley View Casino & Hotel’s leadership team. I am amazed by the culture of the company and its strong foundation with its team members, guests & local community,” said Rawat. “It is a privilege to work alongside a group of individuals who have been working in this company for many years. Together they have built this amazing casino from a mere sprung structure to its current grandeur. I look forward to working with Howard, Executive Chef Denis and many of the finest professionals in the casino industry.”
Whether guests are going to help themselves to an endless amount of Maine Lobster at The Buffet or enjoy a prime steak at Black&Blue Steakhouse, they can expect to receive superior service from the Valley View Food & Beverage team under Rawat.
