A little “meet the owners” since many of you know our faces but may not know much about us.
We’re Kelli and Daniela. Today is our 7th wedding anniversary, and naturally, we’ll be celebrating by spending the day together at Amalie.
Working.
We met working in the service industry 9 years ago. Kelli is Amalie’s Executive Chef, and Daniela also serves as the Executive Director of a local nonprofit. Somewhere in between all of that, we own and operate this little restaurant together.
Before Amalie, there was Masa; our little taco truck and our first adventure in owning a food business together. We started that with our own savings, and Amalie was built the same way: slowly, personally, and with a whole lot of hard work.
We’re here nearly every day, and that’s one of the things we love most about owning an independent restaurant in this magical small town. It’s personal. The people who walk through our doors are our neighbors, friends, regulars and community.
Seven years married, nearly three years of small-business ownership together, and still pretty lucky to get to build it here. We love our lives and each other so if you see us around town give us a high five.
