Owner of Moffett Restaurant Group and Executive Chef at Barrington’s Restaurant 


Chef Bruce Moffett grew up in Barrington, Rhode Island (hence the name of his first restaurant, Barrington’s).After earning a degree in political science from the University of Rhode Island and briefly working the political circuit in D.C., Bruce decided his true passion lied in the culinary arts industry. He was then formally trained at The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in Hyde Park, NY. After graduating from CIA with honors, Bruce gained restaurant experience in both Atlanta and Boston. Most notably, he worked in the kitchen at two of Boston’s most prestigious restaurants, L’Espalier and Metropolis Cafe. In 2000, Bruce moved to Charlotte to be closer to family where he opened his own restaurant, Barrington’s. He has been the Executive Chef there ever since and was recognized as a James Beard Foundation Best Chef Southeast Nominee in 2009. 
In 2013, Bruce expanded his culinary reign in Charlotte by launching Moffett Restaurant Group, which oversees all three restaurants, Barrington’s Restaurant (2000), Good Food on Montford (2009) and Stagioni (2013). MRG understands that dining out is as much about the experience as it is about the food.While all three MRG restaurants have their own style, de´cor and cuisine, they share one quality: a comfortable setting paired with innovative, seasonally-driven dishes.
