established the Celtic Cafe' in May of 2003. When we first decided to go into owning a restaurant, we decided it would be best to make the restaurant an extension of ourselves. Teresa, being an Irish immigrant from county Roscommon , Ireland, immigrated in 1967 to the United States. I, John O'Brien, was born in a small farming community in upstate Pennsylvania. The family then moved to South Carolina & then on to Georgia. I literally grew up in the restaurant business. Some of my first memories were playing with the lobsters in my mother's first restaurant. At the age of 8 I was already bussing tables at country clubs. I attended culinary school at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC. Soon thereafter I worked in Atlanta for several years gaining experience and working my way up the ladder. Moving to Winston-Salem in 1996, I worked at The Piedmont Club, Buena Vista Bistro, New Town Bistro & Bermuda Village retirement resort. We opened the Celtic Cafe' to extend the same friendliness, warmth and great cuisine that we experience in Ireland. We hope that you will enjoy the food, atmosphere, and staff as much as we do. "Go raibh mile maith agat" (a thousand thanks) John O'Brien |
