i. Biography
Kitchen leadership in a waterfront restaurant is a working discipline: staffing, pacing, standards, and food that can hold under service without losing its line. At Hudson Water Club in West Haverstraw, New York, that responsibility sits with Dominique Mitais as Executive Chef. Hotel cooking at a high-service address teaches a particular kind of control: timing, finish, restraint, and the ability to repeat quality under pressure. The Carlyle Hotel in New York City gave Dominique Mitais years inside that expectation. Work at Manhattan Woods Golf Club in West Nyack, NY, added another hospitality setting, where dining is tied to membership, leisure, and occasion. Those posts frame the foundation now carried into Hudson Water Club.
