Elli Willman, general manager of The Avenue Steak Tavern in Dublin, Ohio.

Elly Willman, general manager of The Avenue Steak Tavern, has worked in the restaurant industry all her life. In 2018, when The Avenue was opening in Dublin, Willman joined Cameron Mitchell Restaurants (CMR) and has served in a wide range of roles in her time at the restaurant, such as  server, bartender, and a variety of management positions.

“Don’t take it personally, and perspective is everything,” Willman says when asked what her greatest lesson in her professional career has been. She also says that her favorite thing about working for CMR is, “having the privilege to work with great people, many of whom I hope to have in my life for a long time.”

A native of Central Ohio, Willman enjoys spending time with her family, her niece and her two Jack Russell Terriers. When asked for advice to those interested in a career in hospitality, Willman says, “work hard with pride and passion, and do your very best to take care of those around you.”
