Testimonials

  • “Jeffrey brings a balance of professionalism, humor, warmth, vulnerability, authenticity, and a poetic ability to inspire through words and actions… he’s one of the smartest, gentlest, most powerful, kind-hearted, and purely insightful humans I know.”

    Daniel Humm Chef, Restaurateur, Author

  • “Opening a bar or restaurant can be a daunting and stressful process, but working with LTH has made the entire experience exciting and stress-free. Their seemingly infinite experience and know-how enables them to remove all the guesswork and provide solid, foundational advice on anything ranging from budgets, to branding, to kitchen equipment. Their ability to understand the project, think outside the box, and go above and beyond at every opportunity is genuinely impressive, but what truly sets them apart is their vested interest in the project and their shared desire to see it succeed. While they may claim that there is no secret recipe to running a successful bar or restaurant, their outstanding body of work says otherwise.”

    Russell Colaco Director of F&B Concepts & Innovation, Global Premium Brands, IHG Hotels & Resorts

  • “LTH exceeded our expectations in crafting an exceptional bar program for our restaurant. Their meticulous approach to training the bar staff ensured a seamless transition; incredible is an understatement. We are delighted with the results and highly recommend LTH for their know-how, expertise, and professionalism.”

    Saam Reza General Manager, Signia by Hilton, Atlanta

  • "We brought in Chris to program and lead our beverage outlets at Four Seasons Hotel, Seoul. This included a diverse range of bars, specialty restaurants and Event Spaces which required unique programming for each space. Thanks to Chris’s excellent cocktails, his dedication to mentoring the team and establishing a great network, our bar Charles H became the Best Bar in Korea and has placed on Asia’s 50 Best Bar list every year since opening. It is now the first ever Korean bar on the World’s 50 Best Bars list."

    Vinod Naraya Director of F&B, Four Seasons, Seoul

  • As President & COO at Park MGM/Nomad (Las Vegas), I have worked closely with Jeffrey as (NoMad’s) Managing Partner as we launched a full repositioning of the integrated resort.

His clients love him for it."

  • “The LTH team spoke at our Marriott Luxury F&B Symposium in Bangkok. Jeffrey and Chris were insightful and engaging. I really appreciated their thorough analysis and practical recommendations. I thought that their presentation was both comprehensive and easy to follow, making insightful concepts accessible to everyone in the audience. Thanks to their insights, the participants could reference LTH' s content and take back key learnings to their respective properties, I have no doubt that the sessions taught will significantly enhance guest satisfaction and drive revenue growth across our luxury hotels.” l

We really appreciated his can-do attitude."
