Lyssa has been in retail and restaurant management for almost 30 years. Born and raised in San Diego, her love of food and hospitality was instilled in her at a very young age by her grandmother. She still recalls visiting her every summer in West Virginia. Her grandmother always showing her love and appreciation for her family through the food that she made and the stories that she shared.

Most recently, Lyssa was a member of the management team at a 4-star winery resort & spa, where she oversaw the operations of their award-winning restaurant. When asked why she chose to come work with us at The Goat & Vine, Lyssa said, “I fell in love with the genuine concept and feeling of family at the restaurant. It truly is a special and unique place. In my almost 30 years of experience in the industry, I have never found another place quite like it.”
Lyssa has two AMAZING kids and a wonderful husband of almost 20 years. In her spare time, she loves to spend time with her family, walk her dogs, prepare from scratch homemade meals, and go to Disneyland as much as possible.
