Dining at Reynolds Lake Oconee
No matter your taste, we’ve got the perfect menu to choose from. With 11 distinctive on-site restaurants, you can always choose to go out in style at Reynolds Lake Oconee.
Our Executive Chef, Zouhair Bellout, is an experienced culinarian who takes full advantage of locally grown and seasonal ingredients. Setting Reynolds apart from almost every other community, his consistently-changing menus are carefully developed to keep things fresh for Reynolds Members and feature innovative and fun twists on traditional favorites.
After many years of working for The Ritz-Carlton brand and private club culinary positions, Bellout arrived at Reynolds Lake Oconee in January 2016, first as Banquet Chef de Cuisine, then advancing to Chef de Cuisine at The Creek Club, one of the community’s private clubs. There, he enjoyed the creative freedom of designing boutique menus, food and wine pairings, and seasonal offerings, often incorporating his own international flair. Prior to being elevated to Executive Chef, Bellout served as Executive Sous Chef of Platinum Operations and oversaw the successful development and Summer 2021 launch of the new Richland Pointe restaurant.
