Meet the Business Owner

Lou M.

Business Owner

Lou Manolios learned at an early age the value of hard work. Growing up in a large, close-​knit Greek family, he started washing dishes at his grandfather’s restaurant near Forbes Field when he was 12.

Over the years, Lou absorbed everything he could about the food business by working next to his grandfather weekends and summers until he graduated from high school.

In 1978, when Lou met Nancy, he shared early on his dream of one day owning and operating a restaurant. Eleven years after they married, the Getaway Café was open for business.

Lou brings his vast knowledge and years of experience as a hard-​working businessman to this upscale restaurant known for its great food and service.

A dream come true, Lou and Nancy have a hands-​on approach to running the Getaway Café and treat their staff and customers like family.

Both credit their parents and grandparents for teaching them their unrelenting determination and strong work ethic.
