As nationally-known figures Chris and Ouita Michel have grown their hospitality business, it is easy to forget that it all started with the iconic Midway fine dining restaurant Holly Hill Inn – notable for Chris’ wine knowledge and Ouita’s creative high-end cuisine.

Jackie Anthony is the native Midwayian to whom the Michels’ entrust the business operation of their flagship.

As Ouita tells it, “COVID changed the way I was thinking about our business.” She wanted someone who could manage the operation of the restaurant, allow her and Chris to focus on other aspects of the growing Holly Hill brand, and who understood their core principle of “making our guests just be happy.”

Jackie “more than anyone else in our Holly Hill family – and we think of it as a family – embodies the true meaning and spirit of hospitality, even more than me,” says Ouita.

High-praise indeed.
