LES RETTER
Les is the operating owner of High Roller Sushi. As a native of Canada, Les has 25 years of experience in the Food & Beverage Industry. He brings along a great drive and passion for food service and business side of the operation. Les earned a business degree from McGill University and began his restaurant career in Montreal, where he developed and operated a unique themed restaurant concept called the American Rock Café. He was then asked to join the Roney Palace Resort & Spa located in the famous South Beach area of Miami, where he opened and managed multiple food and beverage outlets in a 1200 room upscale hotel facility. In addition, he also performed food and beverage consulting for the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach. After 10 years at the Roney, he relocated his family to Atlanta to work as a GM for a manufacturing facility in Newnan. It was now time to return to his true passion and back in the food service industry. He decided to fill a much needed gap in Atlanta’s fast paced growing food industry and this is how the concept of High Roller Sushi was born. Les currently resides in Dunwoody with his wife Nelly and their two children. In his spare time, he enjoys cooking, tennis, running, offshore fishing, and spending time with his family.
