Chef de Cuisine Timothy Maxin
Chef Maxin began his culinary career at an early age, understanding that having a grasp on every facet of restaurant operations is an essential quality for a successful chef. Maxin received his formal culinary education at The Pennsylvania Culinary Institute and then was accepted into an externship program at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island.

He worked in various positions at several casual and fine dining restaurants in the Canton area, bringing his culinary skills to higher levels with each experience. Recently, he served as the Executive Chef at Little Chicago Bistro. With a light American style cooking style and a passion for the combination of natural, seasonal flavors, Maxin’s focus is simplicity cooked to perfection. Maxin joined The Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland in 2008 and currently resides in Northeast Ohio with his wife.
