Cape Neddick, ME (September 20, 2017) – Cliff House Maine is pleased to welcome Heinrich von Puschendorf to lead its culinary team as Food and Beverage Director. With over 25 years of experience working at world class hotels and resorts, Heinrich brings his team leadership and expertise in client and guest relations to his new role at this premier New England destination.

As Food and Beverage Director, Heinrich will oversee the entire culinary program for Cliff House’s impressive array of oceanfront dining operations. He is responsible for every aspect of food and beverage for the resort including the signature “farmer to fisherman” restaurant The Tiller, quintessential Maine Nubb’s Lobster Shack, in-room dining for over 226 guest accommodations, and coastal Maine-inspired catering for all weddings and events across the property’s 25,000 square feet of meeting and event function spaces.

“We were fortunate to have Henrich serve as a consultant at Cliff House earlier this summer, and now we are thrilled to welcome him back to the property in a fulltime role,” said Nancy White, General Manager. “He brings a tremendous amount of value to the Cliff House family with his strong and thoughtful leadership skills, dedication to service excellence and ability to exceed guest expectations.”

Heinrich joins the Cliff House team following the property’s completed transformation, which revitalized the 145-year old resort boasting a reimagined design, updated amenities, and additional guest room accommodations. Heinrich will lend his culinary innovation to the authentic and picturesque oceanfront dining experiences within the newest food and beverage venues that were also introduced as part of the new Cliff House.

Before joining the ranks of Cliff House, Heinrich accrued an impressive array of food and beverage director roles at hotels and resorts across the country such as Fairmont Grand Del Mar, The Resort at Pelican Hill, Garden of the Gods Club & Resort, Chaminade Resort & Spa, Resort at Squaw Creek, and Tarrytown House Estate and Conference Center. He also led food and beverage efforts at Stowe Mountain Lodge, sister property to Cliff House, during a peak growth period and renovation while helping to elevate the Lodge to one of the top ski resorts on the East Coast. Heinrich graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Data and Business Management from Barry University in Miami, Florida. In his free time Heinrich enjoys tennis, golf, travel, the outdoors, and fine wines.
