The Northside Kitchen Team

Jim opened Northside Kitchen in 2011 after a short bout of retirement. He can be found in one of his dining rooms in the Valley almost every day of the week. Jim has a natural hospitality mindset, and he loves yucking it up with anyone who will listen. Jim's love of wine and community shine when you are a guest at Northside.

Steve has been in Vail since long before the internet. He has worked hard to create relationships with locals and return visitors. His presence on our team elevates our service, and brings many loyal customers. At Northside, he holds the team together, not like glue, more like gum. Steve's knowledge of restaurants, food, and hospitality are unmatched!

Noah grew up in New Hampshire and moved west to ski. He left a job at Vail to come help open Northside Kitchen as the chef. He met his wife Allison there and together with Jim and Steve they helped create our family of restaurants. He can be found mixing, tasting or growing something around our restaurants every day. 

Dania has tried a couple times to escape the gravity of Northside, but we sure are happy she stuck around. She has been managing her amazing team of servers and keeping Jim and Steve in line for over 7 years. Dania brings a warm and inviting style of service to Northside, mixes a really mean mimosa, and has her organizational skills put to the test daily.  

P.S.- She is a serious Swifty! 

Hector has been working in and around Northside since the very beginning. After a few trips to Texas and back, he decided to stick around. He ran Southside Bender'z  Kitchen for a few years, and now is making our world famous food even better. Hector's palette and technical prowess are matched only by his seemingly endless work ethic. He also almost always has a smile on! 

Adrienne was born and raised in New Mexico, so food and family are very important to her. She moved to Denver in the aughts, and up to the Valley 8 years ago. Her impressive résumé includes stints at larkspur in Vail and d-bar in Denver. She enjoys all aspects of hospitality, especially the connections. Whether in the front of house, kitchens, or running events, Adrienne is all about smiles. She lives for smiles from a full belly, good conversation, and good friends...... and dogs!
