A Labor of Love...
With hurricanes, floods and ultimately a location change, the Seventh South team has been through a lot- but that's what makes us the best team. We are a group of very passionate, driven individuals that focus on the most important aspects of this industry: genuine hospitality and unwavering quality. We have learned to use our trials and tribulations to our advantage, never wavering from our true mission.
Join us & let us show you our true passion.
Barry Larkin
President
Barry was born in Massachusetts, but moved to Naples at a young age. His love for the outdoors & passion for the restaurant industry has made Southwest Florida his perfect home for over 30 years. Passion and drive have always pushed Barry to work tirelessly to achieve his goals and he has had the opportunity to work and learn from amazing companies and mentors in the process. Barry and his wife, Carolyn, met in the restaurant industry and have worked towards opening their own place ever since. Their collective experience in hospitality can only be outshone by their love for people and the joy that they obtain in creating a beautiful experience. Their two boys, Landon and Torin, have been their motivation to make Seventh South a lifelong dream realized.
Jay Schrednitz
Executive Chef, Managing Partner
Jay is a Naples native. His desire to become a great Chef was instilled at a young age and fueled by his driving forces; his wife, Andra and his two children, Sicily & Miles. Jay's approach in the kitchen has been to hone in on his craft. This led him to be at the helm of two of Naples’ finest seafood restaurants for over a decade and eventually led him to us at Seventh South! Jay is a positive force in the kitchen, with an approach to leadership that promotes an ongoing love of research and development in his staff. His focus and attention to detail has been an exciting addition to Seventh South in our approach to enriching the Naples restaurant scene.
We are so proud of the team that we have built here at Seventh South & are passionate about the experience that we will create for you.
Stay Crafty!
