Patti comes from a long line of bar and restaurant owners. Her family has owned and operated restaurants and bars in West Scranton. She grew up in the business, and as a long line of Haggertys did before her, she opened her own place in 2006. After leaving the business, and Scranton, she pursued a career playing poker professionally from 2009-2015. While living and playing in Atlantic City, she had the honor of working for some of the best chefs. She opened The Mussel Bar by Robert Wiedmair, a James Beard award winning chef, from whom she learned the importance of presentation and excellence. Upon moving on from that position, she took the opportunity to work for the Garces group, including Jose Garces who is an Iron Chef and specializes in Spanish tapas. Her time with the Garces group has given her knowledge and skills that she is excited to bring to this new venture. Patti is looking forward to doing what she loves in a city that her family has such a deep connection to.
