Leanne Kelleher and Marylisa Alfalla are building a restaurant. Don’t misunderstand. The actual structure already exists. It’s The Tides, the small, cottage-style place at the corner of Cardinal Drive and Camellia and it’s been open seven days a week since April. What they are building is a staff of loyal co-workers, a growing pool of regular customers, and a reputation for providing outstanding service, excellent food, and a pleasant atmosphere at a reasonable price.
If that weren’t unusual enough, add in the fact that The Tides is the only restaurant in town owned and operated by a woman. “There are plenty of women involved in restaurants, but as far as I know this is the only one in Vero where a woman is running the kitchen and is solely responsible for the operation,” says Kelleher.
