Since opening its first restaurant in 1987, B.R. Guest founder Stephen Hanson and his team have redefined the restaurant experience through an emphasis on hospitality and quality.

Coconut Grill, B.R. Guest's first restaurant, opened on Manhattan's Upper East Side. Since then, B.R. Guest has expanded to include 19 hospitality destinations with more on the way. Currently, the group includes:

From cutting-edge design to jazz entertainment, B.R. Guest restaurants never cease to provide customers with an innovative dining experience.


Charity
B.R. Guest is also committed to supporting the civic and charitable efforts in the communities it calls home. Currently, the company generously and regularly contributes time and resources to Share Our Strength, City-Meals-On-Wheels, American Cancer Society, Publicolor, World Wildlife Federation, PENCIL, Momentum AIDS Project, God's Love We Deliver, American Heart Association, The James Beard Foundation and Windows of Hope.

Environmental Stewardship
In early 2007, Hanson inked a deal with hospitality giant Barry Sternlicht which appointed B.R. Guest as the exclusive restaurateur in Sternlicht’s "1" Hotel and Residences, the first luxury, eco-friendly global hotel brand. In June 2007, B.R. Guest took its obligation to the environment one step further by becoming the first national multi-concept restaurant group to be certified Green by the Green Restaurant Association for its incorporation of sustainable practices within the restaurants.

The Future
2008 and 2009 proved to be busy years for B.R. Guest Restaurants opening Dos Caminos Las Vegas in the Palazzo Resort Hotel & Casino in February 2008 and then, Wildwood Barbeque on Park Avenue South in April. 2009 certainly saw more expansion with Bills Bar & Burger in New York City and the new hotel, Postcard Inn on the beach in St. Pete Beach, Florida with a Wildwood BBQ & Burger dining option. Nineteen properties later (and growing), B.R. Guest is one of the most successful hospitality groups in the country - a testament to the foresight, dedication and passion of the entire B.R. Guest team.
