Present Owners

    Peter & Myrna Ryter met in Southern California in the early 70’s. Peter, originally from Switzerland , has been the chef in many fine restaurants in California, owning his own at one time in Redondo Beach. Vacation travel introduced them to Tahiti, resulting in a move to Moorea. After four years of managing resorts and introducing two young sons into the world, it was time to make a change. Myrna’s parents, retired in Anderson which  was the main reason for their move , along with the designation of destiny!
 Everything clicked into place for an award winning restaurant and new life style centered around Lake Hartwell.  What a challenge…………in 1982, Anderson acquired a European-continental-gourmet  style restaurant. “I hope you’re going to make it” was echoed in our ears for several years. (This was a hot dog, hamburger, steak, kind of city)
      A wonderful surprise entered our life in 1992, another son. Our older two sons, with our persuasion, took their restaurant training and traveled first to Vail, Colorado and then to Maui, Hawaii.
     Myrna, with a passion for health related topics and natural skin care regimes, finally branched out from the restaurant business  and opened a Spa in 1999.  With schooling and an Esthetician license, its defiantly a “hands on” business for her. The Spa is open by appointment, which is mainly Tuesday thru Sat 10-5p.m (other times are available-we try to be flexible)  A “one of a kind” boutique, occupies one of the large rooms at he Spa, which has some of her hand made items  as well as other things  for sale. There are no two items alike which makes it unique!
     Peter recently retiring from 1109 restaurant is now doing distinctive catering events.  Please visit his website at www.ChefandaVette.com Peter is also active with cooking classes, wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners,
Luncheons, tennis and wind surfing! A monthly wine tasting dinner is a regular favorite. Please leave us your e-mail for the newsletters.
      With all we juggle in our lives (as with everyone else in this hectic world) we do not have time to socialize with all our guests. We do apologize and hope that  you understand.  Also, we do want to  Thank You very much for your support!

Most Sincerely,

Peter & Myrna Ryter
