About the Company

At age 20, Chef Adrianne took a life-changing trip to Napa Valley, California. Her love for the food, wine, atmosphere and everything in-between gave her the drive to turn her dreams into reality. After a few fortuitous experiences and a bit of elbow grease along the way, Chef Adrianne brought her love of Napa Valley to Miami in 2007 as Chef Adrianne’s Vineyard Restaurant and Bar.

Since its inception, Chef Adrianne’s Vineyard Restaurant and Bar has created inspiring fine dining experiences. Aim to evoke the same type of ambiance that Napa Valley offers, the restaurant focuses on establishing a comfortable, idyllic atmosphere reminiscent of gorgeous Wine Country views. They curate their menu with Maximum Flavor in mind to ensure each bite, sip and experience is as memorable as the last.

Chicago-born chef Adrianne Calvo opened her first restaurant, Miami’s acclaimed Chef Adrianne’s Vineyard Restaurant and Bar, at just 22 years old. In the more than 15 years since then, Adrianne has made a name for herself as one of the country’s most exciting chefs, with three additional restaurants, six cookbooks, an Emmy-nominated YouTube series, and appearances on shows including “Chopped,” “Beat Bobby Flay,” and “The Today Show.”

And now, Chef Adrianne’s most famous dishes are shipping nationwide! Her family-size beef short ribs are slow-braised for 24 hours, her signature French onion soup is super-cheesy and brimming with caramelized onions, her white & dark chocolate bread puddings are insanely decadent & delicious, and don’t even get us started on her giant cinnamon rolls! Perfect for large gatherings, Chef Adrianne’s signature creations are bound to become your family favorites!

Situation

Riddled with some high cost debt that was crushing the cash flow of the business, Chef Adrianne needed a more cost effective financing solution that would understand the ebbs and flows of the restaurant business. In order to support the ongoing payroll and other expenses of the growing business, Chef Adrianne needed to refinance the existing debt and put in some additional working capital and flexibility to allow the business to thrive in the restaurant, the deliveries as well as the other food service aspects of her business.

Solution

Alantes secured a $1,700,000 Small Business Administration Term Loan with a lender that was not only able to refinance the high cost debt with much lower cost financing, but also able to inject additional working capital in order to allow the business to have some breathing room. “I couldn’t be happier with the service that the team at Alantes was able to provide. I was at my wit’s end and constantly stressed with the financing situation I was in,” says Owner Adrianne Calvo. “I’m beyond elated that we were able to complete the financing and I can feel a huge lift off of my shoulders. Now I have more flexibility to grow my restaurant, my business and my brand. I can’t wait for whats in store for the future.”
