Dining

Chef Dennett, originally from Australia, brings 20 years of well-earned experience in both Australia and the United States. His training began under Chef Shannon Bennett at Vue De Monde, which was the number one restaurant in Australia. Since then, Chef Luke has refined his palette in French, Italian, Mediterranean, and American fine dining, and merged this with experience on a large scale helping to run numerous First and Business Class Executive Lounges for a major Airline. Chef Dennett is capable and excited about bringing that mix of casual, consistent family dining during the week, and an elevated experience on weekends and special occasions.

Kerr brings a multitude of experience with regard to catering and restaurant operations. Paul is a long-time Tuscaloosa resident and cut his teeth at several local restaurants in Tuscaloosa and Baldwin County. Mr. Kerr will bring tremendous ability and support to Chef Dennett as they remake the dining experience at Indian Hills.
