Jonathan Cambra Named Executive Chef at Tiverton’s Boat House Restaurant
Monday, August 15, 2011
The Boat House in Tiverton has enjoyed many accolades—the latest being Open Table's proclamation that the classic waterside restaurant has the best view in all of New England. Its latest coup is the appointment of Jonathan Cambra to executive chef position.
Chef Cambra is best known in Rhode Island for his five-year stint as executive chef at sister property, Castle Hill Inn. There, his vision of sustainable agriculture, locally-purchased ingredients, and organic first, was prevalent in all of the Inn’s menus. Cambra, a Bristol native, trained at the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont, and has long been a fan of perusing local farms and docks for just-picked, just-caught flavors.
While at Castle Hill, Chef Cambra was invited to cook at the prestigious James Beard House in New York twice, and was instrumental in the property receiving many national awards and accolades including: Boston Magazine’s Best of New England: Best Seaside Inn (2011); Newport Life’s Best Upscale Dining and Best Wedding Reception Venue (2011); Travel + Leisure’s Top 500 Hotels in the World (2003, 2005, 2006-2011); Condé Nast Traveler’s Prestigious Gold List (2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009); and Conde Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice U.S. Small Hotels (2010).
