Chef Justin Spott
With 18 years of experience working in the hospitality industry, Spott has always loved working in restaurants and calls the kitchen his “home away from home.” Originally from Richmond, Virginia, Spott began his career by working as a busser for Texas Roadhouse followed by his first role in the kitchen as a banquet cook for Meriwether-Godsey at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens.
In 2012, Spott moved to Florida and began his Hyatt career working as a line cook at Hyatt Regency Coconut Point. His hands-on education and experience in the culinary field allowed him to advance within the culinary team at Hyatt Regency Coconut Point over the course of 10 successful years working with the hotel. Throughout his impressive career, Spott has been a member of the American Culinary Federation and has received multiple recognitions at Hyatt Regency Coconut Point including “Employee of the Month” and the “Rising Star Award.”
“I am thrilled to continue working with my incredible culinary team here at Tarpon Bay and Hyatt Regency Coconut Point,” adds Justin Spott, Chef de Cuisine at Tarpon Bay. “This is a very exciting time for our resort as we prepare to roll out a brand-new dining experience at Tarpon Bay. With the restaurant’s new chef’s table concept, I look forward to developing exciting tasting menus that showcase seasonal ingredients, while continuing to elevate our restaurant into the premier gourmet dining experience in Southwest Florida.”
