Matt Mulvihill is the general manager and partner of Reel Club, a prime steak and seafood restaurant by Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises (LEYE).
A native of Glenview, IL, Matt graduated from the University of Illinois-Champaign with a degree in restaurant management in 1987. He spent the following six years working for S & A Restaurant Corporation, and in 1994, he was hired by LEYE to serve in management at Maggiano’s Little Italy. In 1996 Maggiano’s was sold to Brinker International where Matt continued his services until he rejoined LEYE in May 2007 as the general manager and partner of Reel Club in Oakbrook, IL.
Matt pursued his recent position with LEYE because of the challenge and excitement of opening a new restaurant. “LEYE has a quality reputation for the food, service, and overall operation of their restaurants,” he comments. “I knew people within the company whom I trust and believe in, and I was confident in our ability to successfully launch this great, new concept.”
As the general manager, Matt most enjoys speaking with guests on a daily basis and making adjustments to the restaurant according to their feedback. He loves being surrounded by employees who truly make the restaurant work at an optimum level.
Matt has been married to his wife Frances for 11 years and they have three children: Mitchell, 9; Maria, 8; and Nicholas, 5. As a family they enjoy recreational activities together such as swimming, biking, and playing flag football and baseball. Matt and Frances also keep busy attending many baseball, soccer and football games, and other sporting events that their three children are involved in. Matt and his family currently reside in Hinsdale, IL.
