Meet the Chef
Chef Chris Cantabene joined the Raintree Restaurant in March 1998. He started as the general manager and is now the current Chef/owner along with his wife Lorna MacDonald. In the past 14 years he has been a part of many of the changes in the 30 year old family run business. The Raintree has a rich history in national, state and local accolades including The Wine Spectator A
ward for the past 25 years.
Born in South Bend, Indiana, Chris moved to upstate New York and started working with his brother as a dishwasher at 15 in an upscale Mediterranean restaurant where he advanced to Chef by age 20.
Chef Cantabene moved to St. Augustine in 1983 and began working at Cap’s on the Water, which he purchased and operated as the Chef/Owner until 1996.
Holding no formal culinary degrees, Chris is quite happy to have had the opportunities to hire and work along side many classically trained chefs from Europe, Asia and the Americas.
