ALISON “Ladybird” MCGRATH ~
Cofounder, Hospitality Goddess, & Wine Advocate

Over the past 35 years, restaurateur Alison McGrath has enjoyed an incredibly productive and successful career in the hospitality industry.
After starting out as a banquet server in her late teens, she worked on the front lines of service as a hostess, a server and a general manager at celebrated restaurants in San Diego and San Francisco, most notably at Oritalia and Chaya Brasserie in San Francisco.
Upon returning to San Diego in 2003, she helped create the Food and Beverage outlets at the hotly-anticipated W Hotel, where she oversaw everything from the design of uniforms to the hiring and training of staff.
In late 2004, she and her husband John Clute realized their longtime dream of bringing a European-style cafe to San Diego and opened the award-winning French Bistro, Cafe Chloe. Named for their young daughter, it quickly became a local institution and was credited with kick-starting a revolutionary trend of soulful, intimate restaurants in the city.
Alison’s passion for hospitality is embodied by her warmth, graciousness and ability to connect with people. Her talent for cultivating a team with a deep understanding of these values has been instrumental in garnering recognition from her community such as the “Best Service Award” received by Cafe Chloe from San Diego Magazine. She loves to nurture and mentor staff; to help them reach their potential and to pass on the lost art of “Old School” gracious hospitality that includes everyone and makes them feel welcomed, nurtured and embraced. She believes that kind, generous, sincere service is the magic ingredient of a transcendent restaurant experience.

When she was a little girl
they told her she was beautiful
but it had no meaning
in her world of bicycles
and pigtails
and adventures in make-believe.

Later, she hoped she was beautiful
as boys started taking notice
of her friends
and phones rang for
Saturday night dates.

She felt beautiful on her wedding day,
hopeful with her
new life partner by her side
but, later,
when her children called
her beautiful,
she was often exhausted,
her hair messily tied back,
no make up,
wide in the waist
where it used to be narrow;
she just couldn’t take it in.

Over the years, as she tried,
in fits and starts,
to look beautiful,
she found other things
to take priority,
like bills
and meals,
as she and her life partner
worked hard
to make a family,
to make ends meet,
to make children into adults,
to make a life.

Now,
she sat.
Alone.
Her children grown,
her partner flown,
and she couldn’t remember
the last time
she was called beautiful.

But she was.

It was in every line on her face,
in the strength of her arthritic hands,
the ampleness that had
a million hugs imprinted
on its very skin,
and in the jiggly thighs and
thickened ankles
that had run her race for her.

She had lived her life with a loving
and generous heart,
had wrapped her arms
around so many to
to give them comfort and peace.
Her ears had
heard both terrible news
and lovely songs,
and her eyes
had brimmed with,
oh, so many tears,
they were now bright
even as they dimmed.

She had lived and she was.
And because she was,
she was made beautiful.
