Meet Chef Manolo
Hailing from the majestic Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico, Executive Chef Manolo Acin was trained in classic French cooking techniques at Universidad De Este-Carolina. His French provincial style, combined with his Latin roots, blend seamlessly to create exquisite dishes with a sultry South Florida flair.

Over the years, Chef Manolo developed a profound love and appreciation for the rich tapestry of Mexican cuisine, which is reflected in his diverse menu creations. His cooking styles transcend borders, effortlessly fusing international cuisine with locally sourced ingredients. Prior to the Tower Club, Manolo was Executive Chef, overseeing the culinary department of Telemundo Comcast NBC as well as a Chef at Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort.
